    Also, European things as well such as the ESA's github organization: https://github.com/esa, and Germany's DLR: https://github.com/DLR-SC.

    Another good group to check out is TU Delft: https://github.com/tudelft, https://github.com/tudelft-iv and others.

    Not to mention a bunch of open source CFD projects on github that are widely used and other similar tools. Again, not strictly software that goes to space, but you will find more of that too if you search for projects related to those mentioned above.
