Back to TopThe Glenn Research Center's Technical Reports Server (GLTRS) is a service that allows users to search available online technical reports and abstracts. It is provided by Glenn's Logistics and Technical Information Division.
GLTRS is intended for use by the research communities targeted by the various report and abstract servers. It is open to all members of the Internet/World Wide Web (WWW) community.
Any report of Glenn-funded research can be submitted to GLTRS by making it part of the NASA Report Series. This is done by providing a properly executed and signed NF 1676 and form C-22 to the Publishing Services Coordination Office along with a paper or electronic version of the complete report.
NASA series reports (TM, TP, CR, CP, SP) are available in PDF format. Abstracts are in HTML and thus are immediately viewable through your World Wide Web (WWW) browser. Journal articles and society presentations that are not made part of the NASA report series are included in the Center for AeroSpace Information (CASI) data base when provided to the Publishing Services Coordination Office with a properly executed and signed NF 1676 and form C-22 but are not posted to GLTRS.
Currently there are over 4200 searchable report abstracts and over 2300 complete documents online.
There is an implicit logical "OR" operator. Thus, a search for "turbulent flow" is the same as a search for "turbulent OR flow", which may or may not be what you intend.
The logical operators "AND", "&", and "NOT" are available. Instead of searching for "global positioning system", you will get more meaningful results by searching for "global AND positioning AND system".
Spell your search words correctly - there is no "fuzzy" searching of key terms.
No stemming is done. Thus, to match both "turbulence" and "turbulent", search for "turbule*".
The dash character '-' separates words. So the search term STS-60 will reveal search for ('STS' or '60'). To have it interpreted as a single term, put double quotes around the term: "STS-60".
The more keywords entered, the more likely you are to have a successful search (Note: Unless you are "AND"ing your search terms!)
The reports on GLTRS are unclassified and unlimited.
GLTRS is available to researchers worldwide, and the content is never more than what researchers worldwide could obtain through conventional channels.
Yes. The NASA Technical Reports Server contains information about the collections.
