Letter from the Executive Director
Thanks to NASA engineers and the aerospace contractors, who have worked diligently to make rapid advances in technology through human space flight missions, the Space Alliance Technology Outreach Program (SATOP) has assisted more small businesses than ever before over the past year.
This past year has seen both triumph and tragedy and those who lost their lives for the advancement of human space flight will always be remembered and appreciated. That is why it is important for us to remember the triumphs of human space flight. SATOP is one of human space flight’s greatest triumphs.
In a competitive global economy, it is important, now more than ever, to nurture the development of technological inventions in our country. SATOP is the premiere technology assistance program in the United States. The engineers who put a man on the moon, helped build the International Space Station and are now exploring Mars, understand the importance of sharing that level of technological knowledge with the average American who has invented a new product. It’s all about the future of our economy.
This edition of 3-2-1 SATOP contains success stories, as well as coverage of the engineers and “tech reps” who drive the SATOP engine. SATOP now has a strong presence in Texas. You will read about the Houston Technology Center’s efforts to market the program in Houston – Space City USA.
To continue with our efforts to grow small businesses and maintain the highest level of inventiveness and productivity in the global marketplace, we must continue making the kind of technological advances that can only be discovered through human space flight. When small businesses succeed, our economy flourishes.
I would like to extend a personal thanks to all who have supported SATOP and helped make this last year our best ever. Let’s work together to accomplish even more in 2004!
Sincerely,
Bob Mitchell Executive Director

SUCCESS STORY
When Computer Science Central CEO Al McZeal applied for a patent on a hand held computing and satellite communications device, he envisioned marketing the product in the retail sector. He had no idea how powerful his own product was, until he received technical consultation on Global Positioning Satellites from SATOP’s Alliance Partner, United Space Alliance (USA).
Computer Science Central required information regarding the antenna type and processes used in a portable set to make the invention work. That’s when CEO Al McZeal contacted SATOP.
United Space Alliance Engineer David Dannemiller offered to assist Computer Science Central, since Global Positioning Satellite technology was his specific area of expertise. He began by utilizing an existing computer-based training program that provided an overview of Global Positioning Satellite systems, and then invited McZeal to United Space Alliance, where he provided thorough training of the satellite technology. Following the training, McZeal said he had gained so much knowledge of Global Positioning Satellite systems that he planned to
make his invention more valuable by modifying the device in order to apply to a wider range of uses.
“The presentation and David Dannemiller’s explanation of each slide was very professional and helpful to my understanding of this technical problem,” said McZeal. “From the knowledge gained, I intend to amend my patent application to include military uses.”
McZeal said overcoming the technical obstacle would allow his company to grow from 25 to 100 contract employees over the next year. The patent is currently pending in 99 countries. While traveling to Europe to attend an electronics conference, McZeal negotiated a licensing agreement with a European firm to market the product worldwide.
“Thanks to NASA Johnson Space Center and its contractors, like United Space Alliance, the Space Alliance Technology Outreach Program can catapult a small business to a level of success that it never dreamed possible,” said SATOP Executive Director Bob Mitchell. “I see it happen over and over again. I hope more small businesses will dare to think big and seize this opportunity.”
Product’s Scope Widens with SATOP

SUCCESS STORY
Ask any chiropractor and they will tell you that bicycle seats have been a pain in the pelvis since the day they were invented. That’s why Dr. Joseph Unger, a chiropractor and cycle enthusiast, designed a split bicycle seat with two adjustable halves to support the specific shape of the rider’s pelvis. The product was designed to alleviate strain to sensitive muscles, ligaments and nerves.
The ergonomically designed bicycle seat was close to completion, except for the support bar, which carried the two parts of the seat. The original design included an aluminum support bar, but the inventive chiropractor knew the material would not stand up to long-term stress. Unger needed a lightweight, flexible material that could absorb shock and vibration, while withstanding repeated and prolonged strain due to torsion.
Unger submitted a Request for Technical Assistance (RTA) to SATOP, which in turn, matched AJT & Associates Engineer Andrew Lawrence with the request. Lawrence examined the design of the bicycle seat
and recommended utilizing titanium for the stress bar, due to its exceptional strength, fatigue rating and superior structural properties. Lawrence also recommended using titanium for other parts in the bicycle seat, such as hinges and swivel components, that required repeated movement.
Unger incorporated all of Lawrence’s recommendations into his design. “My participation in SATOP was extremely beneficial,” said Unger. “I did not have access to this type of expertise until now.”
Unger said he was in the process of calculating production costs and product feasibility and would submit a required independent product assessment in the near future. Following licensure, he said the product would be marketed to outside vendors for manufacturing and distribution.
“Dr. Unger has invented a product that he is passionate about,” said SATOP Executive Director Bob Mitchell. “That is usually a key element in a product’s success. It would not be surprising to find Unger’s product in a future Tour de France.”
Bicycle Seat Built for Comfort and Speed

Three years ago, the founding members of Chrysalis Development Company, Inc. in East Meadow, NY, developed an innovative process of producing prescription bifocal lenses. They created a compression molding device to replace the traditional methods of grinding and polishing to form the lenses. Once perfected, this process would greatly reduce production costs of bifocal lenses, possibly by half. However, one major obstacle was preventing Chrysalis from successfully launching its new product.
Creating the molded lenses involved a two-step procedure. The first step was to produce a thermoplastic pre-form shape. Then, this semi-formed lens was compressed and molded to create the final shape. Unfortunately, the heat applied during the molding process was being unevenly distributed throughout the mold, occasionally resulting in discoloration and degradation of the lens material.
“Because the machine was not producing a uniform temperature gradient, the lenses we produced were oval, not the perfectly round shape we had hoped for,” said Martin Greshes, Chrysalis Development Company general manager.
Although Greshes and his colleagues recognized the problem, they were unable to come up with a logical and affordable solution. Greshes first contacted the Long Island Forum for Technology (LIFT), a local organization who then referred him to SATOP.
SATOP arranged for Vadim Gandelsman, a systems engineering specialist from Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC), with the Space, Earth and Atmospheric Sciences (SEAS) Group on the Safety, Reliability and Quality Assurance (SR&QA) contract at the Johnson Space Center in Houston to assist Chrysalis.
The RTA immediately caught Gandelsman’s
attention, because he was confident that he would be able to come up with a solution to Chrysalis’s problem. “Not only was this project of great interest to me, but it was a nice variation from my normal day-to-day job,” said Gandelsman.“I was pleased to be able to assist Martin with his request.”
Gandelsman corresponded with Greshes on a regular basis by phone, fax and email. They tested many design modifications and techniques, such as redirecting the airflow and installing air mixers into the machine. Using trial and error, they finally arrived at a simple solution.
Gandelsman recommended that Greshes enclose the mold to achieve a uniform temperature. “With some simple design modifications, we were able to equalize the hot air flow within the enclosure and produce a perfectly round lens,” said Gandelsman. “This technique will also be useful in the design of future compression molding machines.”
Greshes was very pleased with this practical and cost-effective solution. “We were previously at a stand still, and we could not have moved forward without SATOP’s assistance,” he said. “The quality of SATOP’s engineers is phenomenal. It was a priceless experience for our company to be able to work with the engineering experts SATOP has recruited.”
Now that they have overcome the last remaining barrier, Chrysalis hopes to launch their new product before the end of the year.
“This is a prime example of SATOP’s ability to provide services that small businesses are otherwise unable to access,” said Richard Smith, SATOP–TX Project Engineer. “We are very pleased with the success Chrysalis has experienced working with SAIC – they are a top notch alliance partner.”

SUCCESS STORY
Do The Math, Two Plus Two Equals SATOP
When one hears the word “cable,” television immediately comes to mind or perhaps the image of cables supporting a high-rise window washer. However, cables are found almost everywhere from low tech to high tech applications. And, one of the most innovative specialty cable manufacturers in the country is Cortland Cable.
“We make everything from ultra high altitude kite strings to very complex electro-optical cable that can travel miles under water,” explains John Cobb, Vice President of Electro-Optical Products at Cortland Cable Company. “Our cables are known for their strength characteristics, but they are custom engineered with fiber optics, power and many other components to meet the customer’s requirements.”
Cortland’s cables are found in the space shuttle, on the Hubble telescope, the Mars Explorer, and as oceanographic tethers – like those on the vehicle that explored the Titanic. “We use advanced materials, which help make our cables strong, flexible and light-weight when compared to traditional metallics,” Cobb said.
Cortland Cable is known to be on the cutting edge when it comes to designing new cable products. Late last year, Cobb and his team decided that as a design tool they needed to develop more accurate predictive equations for electrical transmissions. “There are standard equations for diagnostics,” said Cobb, “but we wanted to take a new design and run equations as predictors in an effort to extend our design capabilities.”
Even though John possesses significant engineering experience, the proposed new equations were beyond his realm of expertise. So, when he learned about SATOP from the Cortland County Business
Network, John decided to turn to them, “I went to SATOP hoping to find someone smarter than us!” he said.
SATOP accepted Cortland Cable’s request for technical assistance (RTA) and partnered the company with Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC) located in Houston, TX. SAIC is the nation’s largest employee-owned research and engineering company. Vadim Gandelsman, a Systems Engineering Specialist with the Space, Earth and Atmospheric Sciences (SEAS) Group on the Safety, Reliability and Quality Assurance (SR&QA) contract at the Johnson Space Center in Houston was assigned the RTA.
“I was told that the requestor needed to identify practical, derived formulas for predicting the transmission properties and attenuation for various types of electrical cables,” said Gandelsman. “As a result of research, I was able to recommend several published theoretical equations for analysis of mid and high range frequencies. In addition, suggestions for computational tools and techniques were provided.”
“We sent Vadim examples of what we were looking for and he sent back new equations,” said Cobb. “These formulas can help us predict transmissions in the mid-frequency range, which is where it is most complex. The bottom line is, thanks to SATOP, we’ve been able to improve our design capabilities.”
Once again, SATOP was able to help an already innovative company come closer to a new innovation. “SATOP is an excellent program. They gave us the ability to work with a subject-matter expert which was really helpful,” said Cobb. “I can easily see where small businesses could find this program vital to their success.”

“The dream is alive,” said NASA Johnson Space Center Deputy Director Randy Stone during a keynote speech at a SATOP luncheon that drew more than 100 guests from Bay Area Houston. “Organizations like the Bay Area Houston Economic Partnership and the Space Alliance Technology Outreach Program keep the dream of human space flight alive.”
SATOP paid tribute to its engineers and “tech reps” (program coordinators within each company) at its annual appreciation luncheon on December 2, 2003 at NASA Johnson Space Center’s Gilruth Center. The engineers and tech reps were honored for their volunteer efforts of assisting small businesses with technical challenges by utilizing space age technology. Other honored guests included Peter Tyler, District Director of U.S. Congressman Nick Lampson’s office, State Representative Larry Taylor (District 24) and NASA Johnson Space Center Director of Engineering Frank Benz.
The statewide SATOP program is administered through the Bay Area Houston Economic Partnership. The organization’s Chairman Dr. William A. Staples noted, “To make something like this [SATOP] work, it takes partnerships: Bay Area Houston Economic Partnership, NASA, aerospace companies, and most importantly, engineers.”
The honorees included engineers and tech reps from NASA Johnson Space Center,
The Boeing Company, Lockheed Martin, United Space Alliance, Barrios Technology, Hernandez Engineering, MRI Technologies, GHG Corporation, SAIC, ePro, Astrium North America, GB Tech, Hamilton Sunstrand Management Services, Oceaneering Space & Thermal Systems, Futron and Muniz Engineering.
Individual honors were awarded in four categories: Boeing Engineer Bob Clark received the Best of Both Worlds award for serving as both a Tech Rep and Project Engineer; United Space Alliance Engineer Mark Welch received the Workforce Development award; SAIC Engineer Vadim Gandlesman received the award for Overall Productivity; and NASA Engineer Bernard Rosenbaum received the Economic Impact award for his work with Mission Technologies.
“This was a tribute to those individuals who drive the SATOP engine, so to speak,” said SATOP Executive Director Bob Mitchell. “Without the goldmine of talent they possess, coupled with their desire to serve the small business community, there would be no SATOP.”
The Engineers committed to volunteer more than 10,000 hours of technical assistance in 2003 and assisted more than 90 small businesses.
In his keynote address, Stone concluded, “Alliances like this will be the reason our grandkids will look up and say, ‘I’m glad they’re still flying people in space.’”

AP PROFILE
SATOP offers enormous support to the small business community through dedicated support from program partners such as Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC) and its in-house program liaison, Gloria Stiner.
As manager of organizational planning and development for the division, Stiner has worked for SAIC for seven years, serving on the Safety, Reliability & Quality Assurance contract with NASA. She oversees the planning, employee recognition and internal communications programs, as well as the organizational development support and training initiatives. Before joining SAIC, Stiner’s career included a 23-year-stint at IBM, where she served in a variety of positions ranging from education/marketing support to software development management.
Based on her active involvement in many local space-oriented, volunteer committees, Stiner was chosen as the focal point for SAIC’s role in the SATOP. When a Request for Technical Assistance (RTA) is issued, she routes it through her distribution channels and coordinates all logistics, should an SAIC engineer take the case.
“This program is so worthwhile because it allows us to play a direct role in helping to grow a company or keep it from going out of existence,” Stiner said. “The engineers love the opportunity to break away from their everyday tasks and use
their skills learned in the space program to help out a small business owner in need.”
One of Stiner’s favorite requests involved helping an entrepreneur gather the scientific research and data he needed to validate the efficacy of a newly patented aeration technology device that played a vital role in breaking down water contaminants. Through an alliance with other SATOP partner CHG Corporation and the Sea Center of Texas, the entrepreneur was able to use the device to help the Center in its effort to repopulate local coastal waters with Red Drum fish.
“Advanced Aeration International was a unique opportunity because it involved many SATOP partners working together to help this small company,” Stiner said. “So, often the aerospace contractors work as competitors. It is a refreshing change to be able to work in a collaborative fashion for such a worthwhile endeavor.”
SATOP Executive Director Bob Mitchell says Mrs. Stiner’s management of SAIC’s role in the program is paramount.
“We rely on our partners to quickly determine whether or not they will be able to provide us assistance on RTAs as they come in from the outside community,” Mitchell said. “Mrs. Stiner has set up a dynamic system at SAIC and does an exceptional job of maintaining the company as one of our most active partners. I salute her for a job well done.”

For nearly a year the Houston Technology Center (HTC) has networked small businesses to talented NASA engineers through the Space Alliance Technology Outreach Program. The HTC serves one of Houston’s premier business accelerators incubating emerging technology companies. In an effort to showcase its latest technologies to the aerospace industry in Bay Area Houston, the Houston Technology Center partnered with SATOP and held a technology showcase event at NASA Johnson Space Center’s Gilruth Center in the last quarter of 2003.
The event featured small, technology-related businesses in Houston that have not previously had access to Bay Area Houston’s major aerospace companies. Aerospace executives from NASA Johnson Space Center, The Boeing Company, Lockheed Martin, Barrios Technology, Cimarron, United Space Alliance, Wyle Laboratories and other NASA contractors viewed the emerging technologies showcased and made contacts for future business opportunities. However, the event proved to be mutually beneficial to SATOP, which is administered by the Bay Area Houston Economic Partnership.
“I’m glad we were able to open doors to the space industry for some of Houston’s small tech businesses,” said SATOP Executive Director Bob Mitchell. “Through this effort, SATOP has received several Requests for Technical Assistance from the businesses that were showcased. We are responding to those requests now.”
Speakers included NASA Johnson Space Center Deputy Director Randy Stone, NASA Former Astronaut and Vesalius Ventures President Bernard Harris, Dow Fuel Cell Operations Manager George Kelher and Office of the Governor Special Assistant
for Technology Dustin Lanier.The Houston Technology Center
exhibited the latest in aerospace, IT and energy technologies of 20 Houston companies including:
Air OptionsAugmentixBirdnest SoftwareCRG Medical DicentralDovarriE-ceptionistFrogpadHanby Environmental
Laboratory ProceduresIdev TechnologiesLithiumPower TechnologiesLunarEyeMongoose TechnologiesPolyVistaQBTSeafoamSpin DiagnosticsSynthecon TelecareTympany Vuico
At the event, NASA Executive on Loan Rob Kelso introduced FrogPad Technologies to the Bay Area Houston Economic Partnership. The Partnership learned FrogPad Technologies was in need of engineering support for an industrial design of their product, a one-handed keypad that could revolutionize data entry. Displayed recently on ABCNews.com, the technology is gaining worldwide recognition. Since the HTC event, SATOP has met with FrogPad CEO & President Linda Marroquin – both times with intentions of submitting a Request for Technical Assistance to be supported by engineers at the Johnson Space Center. As a result, SATOP could play a pivotal role in revolutionizing this advanced data entry system.

SPACE PROGRAM OUTLOOK
Bush Unveils Vision for Moon and Beyond
“The desire to explore and understand is part of our character. We do not know where this journey will end, yet we know this—human beings are headed into the cosmos. Mankind is drawn to the heavens for the same reason we were once drawn into unknown lands and across the open sea. We choose to explore space because doing so improves our lives and lifts our national spirit.”
U.S. President George W. Bush
“A national commitment to space is not a voluntary initiative: it is a strategic imperative. The new mission for NASA is the next giant leap for mankind.
“The president’s vision is exactly what NASA needs: a bold, unifying mission that honors America’s 40-year legacy of triumph and sacrifice in human space flight.
“I couldn’t be happier with the president’s vision, nor prouder of the brave and brilliant people of NASA who will make this dream come true.”
House Majority Leader Tom DeLay R-Sugar Land
“The President and I share most of the same vision for our nations’ space exploration program. This is the first major presidential commitment on space exploration in many years, a commitment that will hopefully get us back on track for returning to the moon and eventually going to Mars. President Bush deserves credit for making the announcement and I look forward to working with him in the months to come. This is a new year, and I look forward to a new vision for NASA.
“The announcement echoes many of the goals that I have been advocating, as well as a bill I introduced both in the last Congress and in this session, the Space Exploration Act. I support the goals that I heard today, especially Mars as the ultimate destination, but I want to look closely and make sure that this plan is executable.”
Congressman Nick Lampson, D-Beaumont
“President George W. Bush shared his vision for America’s space program with all of us. This vision will challenge us, stimulate our imaginations and capture the minds and hearts of our children.
“We look forward to a promising future that utilizes the talents of every NASA employee as robotic missions pave the way for human exploration. As we plan for these missions, we will once again drive innovative solutions and products that will benefit life here on our home planet. As part of the great One NASA Team we embrace that challenge.
“As Texans, we have always embraced the challenge of exploring new frontiers. The first settlers relied on ingenuity, courage and fortitude to build this great State of Texas. We will show that same spirit as we develop the space frontier. While there will be challenges to overcome, the rewards that follow as we return to the moon and push even farther out into space will be great.”
Gen. Jefferson D. Howell Jr., Johnson Space Center Director
