A Shifting Technology Transfer Paradigm

Current Paradigm

Predominantly Publicly Funded LEO, GEO and Surface Robotics Space Technologies Spinoff into Privately Funded Terrestrial Applications

Recent examples in NASA’s “Spinoff 2008”:• Advanced polymer coatings applied to implantable heart

devices• Robotic technology applied to developing minimally invasive

surgery • EVA suit-derived textiles applied to firefighters, race car

drivers and deep sea divers• Drag reduction research applied to swimsuit development • Astronaut food supplements applied to baby formula • Carbon nano-mesh technology applied to filtered water• Rocket engine valve technology applied to combustion

engines• Lithium batteries applied to automobile power trains
