• NASA Technical Reports Server (NTRS)
  Searchable database of NASA aerospace information as well as domestic and international scientific and technical information (STI) pertinent to NASA's missions and Strategic Enterprises. Coverage begins in 1911 (1917 for NACA documents). Examples of NASA's STI include research reports, journal articles, conference and meeting papers, technical videos, mission-related operational documents, and preliminary data. NASA citations and full-text documents found on NTRS are unlimited, unclassified, and publicly available. NTRS also collects scientific and technical information from sites external to NASA to broaden the scope of information available to users.
  Note: Most material identified in this search will be available in the Government Publications Library or other collections of the University Libraries.
