split Data Management & Pipelines into Access & APIs + Pipelines & Algorithms

The single subcategory had grown to 21 items, mixing search/retrieval infrastructure with science processing. Two cleaner buckets:

Data Access & APIs (10): cmr-opensearch, Earthdata Search, earthdata-varinfo, Harmony, NASAaccess, PDS API, PDS Deep Archive, PDS Transform, PDS Validate, PyKE.
Processing Pipelines & Algorithms (11): autoRIFT, Cumulus, DELTA, DRIP-SLIP, Harmonized Landsat Sentinel-2, HyperCP, ITS_LIVE, kepler-pipeline, MAAP, RT Retrieval Framework, svrstormsig.

Imagery & Visualization Services is unchanged (NASA Worldview, Web WorldWind). Updated settings.yml + docs/category-taxonomy.md to match.

Open Mission Software Landscape

An interactive landscape of open-source software developed by NASA and its partners for use in space mission design, ground systems, mission operations, and science data processing. Generated with CNCF landscape2.

Scope: Open-source only. NASA-developed and external-partner (other agencies, universities, commercial, and independent developers) contributions are equally welcome. Closed, government-source-only, ITAR/EAR-controlled, or SRA-licensed software is out of scope. See docs/governance.md.

Contributing

Open a PR that edits landscape.yml — adding items in the appropriate subcategory, alphabetical by name. NASA staff and external partners use the same flow; see CONTRIBUTING.md.

Governance
