NASA Spinoff
Current Issue Spinoff 2007
Spinoff is NASA's annual premiere publication featuring successfully
commercialized NASA technology. For more than 40 years, the NASA
Commercial Technology Program has facilitated the transfer of NASA
technology to the private sector, benefitting global competition and
the economy. The resulting commercialization has contributed to the
development of commercial products and services in the fields of health
and medicine, industry, consumer goods, transportation, public safety,
computer technology, and environmental resources. Since 1976, Spinoff has featured between 40 and 50 of these commercial
products annually. Spinoff maintains a searchable
database of every technology published since its inception. If you
think you have the makings of a spinoff, please contact us through the contributor
form.
