NASA’s technology transfer efforts focus on achieving two specific goals:

  • Forming partnerships with industry, academia, and other government agencies to support NASA programs
  • Transferring space-program technology to new applications to enhance NASA’s technology and commercial objectives

 

R&D at NASA has relevance to many Earth-based industries:

  • Health and medicine
  • Electronics, energy, and photonics
  • Advanced materials and chemicals
  • Transportation
  • Environmental
  • Homeland security
  • Manufacturing
  • Telecommunications
