NASA Launches Code.NASA.gov
On 4 January 2012, NASA launched http://code.nasa.gov in order to "continue, unify, and expand NASA's open source activities." 
   "We believe that tomorrow's space and science systems will be 
    built in the open, and that code.nasa.gov will play a big part 
    in getting us there. Will your code someday escape our solar 
    system or land on an alien planet? We're working to make it 
    happen, and with your help, it will." -- NASA.gov
