NASA Paperwork Required to Release Technical Documents on the Internet
Releasing scientific or technical data from NASA to the public requires going through the Document Availability Authorization (DAA) process. DAA is used to release technical documents in all media (external presentations/papers, journal articles, etc.). My WWW document about Humans in Space was the first scientific document to be released exclusively on the Internet from JSC, so I had to blaze new trails through the usual red tape.It's not hard to get data approved for public release, but it can be time consuming. To release your data, you need to submit an abstract of your document with two forms, JSC Form 548, JSC Approval of External Presentations/Papers, Journal Articles, and NASA Scientific and Technical Reports Series, and NASA Form FF427, NASA Scientific and Technical Document Availability Authorization (DAA). (If you're at a different NASA installation, you'll need your Center's form, not the JSC form. If you're not at NASA, why are you reading this?) These are multi-part forms (carbonless copies), and you should get them from your secretary or from Doris Grosshauser, JSC Mail Code PS2, (713) 483-4005.
To give you an example, you can see scanned copies of the forms I submitted by selecting JSC Form 548 (or its instructions), or NASA Form FF427 (or its instructions). [The following files are the original scans. These are greatly magnified images that are readable on the screen, for those who are interested: JSC Form 548 (or its instructions), or NASA Form FF427 (or its instructions).--rjn] Warning: These are large GIF images.
The abstract I submitted is here.
