The NASA Software Catalog is the easiest way to get a copy of Cart3D. From the catalog's home page you can simply search for cart3d and it will take you to the Cart3D download page. Those working for a federal agency or anyone in industry or academia holding an active federal government contract can request a copy directly through the Software Catalog. If you're looking to get a copy for purely commercial purposes, it's best to go thought one of the licensees. Many government users also elect to go through a commercial licensee, since they offer support, training, GUIs, CAD integration and support a wider array of platforms. For direct-from-NASA licensing, or for purely educational use at an accredited educational institution see the licensing page. 

If you love paperwork and work for the federal government or if you work for a non-NASA federal government agency, you can obtain the software through a Software Use Agreement. To get these forms, contact:  hong.v.vong@nasa.gov. Send the appropriate form back to the Ames Technology Transfer Office.  If you have questions, contact information is below.

Sure! If you downloaded from the NASA Software Catalog, just go there and get the latest copy. If you filled out your Software Usage Agreement by hand, contact us and we'll setup a download. Please include both
  1. A description of platform you're running on (best is to send the output of "% uname -a) and
  2. The current distribution that you're working from (found in $CART3D/VERSIONS)
