“NASA’s value is not limited to the cosmos but is realized throughout our country – from hundreds of thousands of well-paying jobs to cutting-edge climate science, to understanding the universe and our place in it. , to technology transfers that make life easier for people around the world,” NASA Administrator Bill Nelson said. “As we fight the coronavirus pandemic and promote environmental justice and sustainability, the technology of NASA is essential to addressing humanity’s greatest challenges.”
Spinoff 2022 features more than 45 companies using NASA technology to advance manufacturing techniques, detoxify polluted soils, improve weather forecasts, and even purify the air to slow the spread of viruses, including the coronavirus.
Spinoff 2022 also reveals new technologies being developed at NASA centers across the United States with possible benefits and uses beyond their original design applications. Stennis Space Center near Bay St. Louis, Mississippi, is featured for two locally developed technologies: lightweight, low-cost sensors that could provide a basis for standardizing a wide variety of sensor applications and an online toolkit for rendering remote sensing data of NASA more accessible and applicable.
“NASA’s technology portfolio contains many innovations that not only enable exploration, but also meet challenges and improve lives here at home,” said Jim Reuter, associate administrator for NASA’s Space Technology Missions Directorate. agency in Washington. “We have captured these examples of successful commercialization of NASA technology and research, not only to share the benefits of the space program with the public, but to inspire the next generation of entrepreneurs.”
