Welcome to the Software Integration & Visualization Office
The mission of the Software Integration & Visualization Office (SIVO) is to provide leadership in the development of advanced scientific software and state-of-the-art visualization tools and products in support of the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center's Sciences and Exploration Directorate.
We provide competencies in the areas of computational science, visualization techniques, and software engineering. Our goal is to develop effective, high performance software using industry practices that minimize cost and risk, and visualization tools that enable science and help explain our work to policymakers and to the public.
We work with the science research community as a trusted partner to achieve the Goddard goal of scientific excellence.
