NASA AND CROWDPLAT
Since 2017, NASA and CrowdPlat have collaborated, leveraging crowdsourcing to tackle diverse challenges. By 2020, this partnership expanded when CrowdPlat joined NASA's Open Innovation Services II (NOIS2) via the NASA Tournament Labs, marking a significant milestone. This inclusion not only underscores CrowdPlat's contributions to innovative solutions but also highlights the platform's role in facilitating a wide array of projects from software to advanced AI/ML (Artificial Intelligence / Machine Learning) data science to technical solutions aimed at advancing NASA's objectives through open innovation.
The NASA Open Innovation Services 2 (NOIS2) initiative leverages crowdsourcing to drive innovation across a broad spectrum of projects, embracing the collective intelligence of a global community. By employing crowd-based challenges, assembling freelance expert teams worldwide, and decomposing complex tasks into smaller, manageable freelance assignments, NOIS2 aims to harness diverse ideas and solutions. This approach is intended to spur breakthroughs in space exploration and other NASA missions, demonstrating the agency's commitment to collaborative, innovative problem-solving strategies.
CrowdPlat has successfully collaborated with NASA, providing advanced solutions that align with NASA's goals to push forward scientific and engineering boundaries. Their partnership focuses on leveraging crowdsourced talent to develop innovative tools and technologies, contributing significantly to NASA's new phase of space exploration. CrowdPlat is committed to addressing future challenges today, enhancing NASA's mission through innovative crowd-based solutions.
