If you want to use NASA software, you’ll need to share some basic info like your citizenship and how you plan to use it. This renewal affects about 7,000 users yearly and keeps the process smooth and electronic—comments on the process are due by May 29, 2026.

Form is collected electronically

NASA collects the Software Catalog request form electronically, so you submit the required information online rather than on paper.
