Nasa Technical Reports Server (NTRS)[edit]

Nasa's NTRS contains over 1 million records including over 40,000 pdfs; tens of thouasands of images, and tens of thousands of videos. Most of these are items are in public domain as they are a work of nasa.

For an example of pdfs containing useful skematics, images, and diagrams see...

In addition to pdfs...they also have tens of thousands of images and videos.

Perhaps NASA could be contacted requesting a dump of sorts of their images...but at a million records, many of which are copyright free...there's a trove of free media.

So does anyone have any opinions?Smallman12q (talk) 23:31, 13 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

So I take it that tens of thousands of high quality diagrams and photographs of spacecraft simply aren't of interest?Smallman12q (talk) 14:30, 31 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I couldn't find any videos or images. And it's difficult to extract images from the pdf.--Diaa abdelmoneim (talk) 12:16, 11 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I looked at the pdf and now know more about cleaning telescope mirrors than I am likely to need. Most images need rotation at least. What is worse is that they are interspersed with manufacturers copyvios. Rich Farmbrough, 12:06 24 March 2012 (GMT).
You couldn't find the videos/images=(. Look

A lot of the images are related to nasa activities, while others are more general photos and diagrams.Smallman12q (talk) 22:28, 26 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Same result for me. -- RE rillke questions? 18:22, 4 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I think you can assess, whether the files you intend to upload are in scope and whether they are suitable for Commons. Simply start uploading, if you want them here on Commons. -- RE rillke questions? 18:22, 4 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
NTRS has been temporarily suspended(InformationWeek). Smallman12q (talk) 02:01, 26 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
 Not done. I have removed this from the list as "temporarily" seems to be meaning "indefinitely". BMacZero (talk) 02:02, 9 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
