Does anyone know whether NASA has any sort of processing going on in the same way that there is with SETI?

If this sounds a bit dumb I apologise in advance.

Welcome to the Forums - Where we don't have stupid questions ( Just stupid users :-P )

Here's what NASA has hardware-wise:

I'd assume that whatever processing NASA needs is going to be specific to the hardware, so I don't think that they'd be running BOINC per se - perhaps using it as a development template until they get their own system off the ground.

Hope that helps!

Thanks for that. The reason I ask is that my other team member says that not only is she running SAH but "also clicks for NASA" and I was wondering what she meant by that, but thanks again for the input.

With the 500th anniversary, how could we blame you?

I know I've heard the expression "to click for [noun]" before... I can't remember what it was in reference to, but I know I've heard it before...
