Thinking Systems builds a collection of GMAT Plugin Components that are provided free to interested parties. These components are licensed using one of several licenses, depending on the source of the code used. Components coded entirely at Thinking Systems are licensed using the same Apache 2 license used for GMAT. Licensing for other components is provided as describe in their download section.

GMAT R2025a was released April 18, 2025. The new reelase of GMAT includes Python interfaces through Python 3.12, so library plugins for Python are no longer needed for R2025a users. Users that need the R2022a components can find them in the R2022a archives.
