NASA's Publication Spinoff

1996 Edition Now Available

For more than 30 years, the secondary use of NASA technology and its impact on the economy and global competition has been facilitated through NASA's Commercial Development and Technology Transfer Program. This mechanism is employed to transfer new technologies developed in the course of NASA activities to the public and private sector. Such wide distribution and outreach activities result in private industry's application of NASA generated technology. Frequently this leads to the development of commercially available products and services (spinoffs). Spinoff captures between 40 and 50 of these success stories annually. A copy of this publication is available upon request.
