Technology Transfer and Outreach

In order to ensure the benefits of NASA's research and development activities reach the widest possible audience and have the broadest impact, NASA established the Commercial Technology Network. The network of organizations is dedicated to transferring technology, and serving as a resource of scientific and technical information with real-world applications. The Commercial Technology Office at each NASA field center serves as the touchstone for the ever-growing network of transfer mechanisms. As the volume of knowledge has grown, so too have the methods of transferring the technology. The following section serves as a roadmap to the path of accessible cutting-edge technology and research. In addition, Spinoff provides a close-up view of the technology transfer activities at this year's spotlight center, Ames Research Center. Previous Page / Home / Contents / Next page
