Mission operations software has traditionally been closed and proprietary, hindering collaboration. NASA has developed and open-sourced Open MCT, a tool for mission control. It is available on GitHub under an Apache 2.0 license, allowing easy sharing. The goal is to create a community of contributors and make mission operations software more accessible. Legal and support costs are involved in open-sourcing software, but resources like demos, user support, and forums are provided. Building a community is crucial for the success of open-source projects.
