  SPINOFF
Spinoff
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, benefiting 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 health, 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.

Partnership Portal
NASA has many technology needs, and most technologies have multiple applications. By working jointly with NASA to develop technologies to meet their needs, companies can also meet their own product development needs—faster, more efficiently, and with less capital. Take advantage of NASA's research and program funding to get your business off the ground, while also giving NASA the technologies it needs to reach its own goals.
