We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "NASA",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Electronicstalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Multicore organisation improves interoperability from
National Instruments, which we summarised at the time by saying "National Instruments is collaborating with technology companies including Intel, Freescale Semiconductor and Wind River to improve the interoperability among operating systems".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release NASA makes electronics design choice from
Altium: "NASA's Johnson Space Center will use Altium Designer as its electronics design standard on both manned and unmanned mission support".
In August 2007, we covered the news from E-Certa
concerning its Component Pb conversion
- take a look at Preconditioning for component Pb conversion
which says: "Joel Deutsch and Michael Baker explain how proper preconditioning allows older ICs and semiconductor devices to be converted to become RoHS compliant".
Take a look also at the news release from Omnetics Connector Corp, Military-spec connectors save space and weight,
as well as Testing readies space telescope for launch from National Instruments,
and FPGAs and DSPs unite in solar studies from Sundance Multiprocessor Technology.
