Aerospace Technology 4: Commercialize Technology

Extend the commercial application of NASA technology for economic benefit and improved quality of life.

Other Information:

NASA technologies benefit not only aerospace but also numerous other industries such as surface transportation and medicine. It is essential that NASA technology continue to be made available to U.S. industry to augment our economy and benefit the public. To accomplish this, NASA provides the U.S. aerospace industry access to its unique facilities and expertise and establishes partnerships with the private sector and State and local governments. A continuing strategy to promote nontraditional applications for NASA technology is the NASA Commercial Technology Network. This network consists of NASA-affiliated organizations across the U.S. that help American enterprises in the transfer, development, and commercialization of NASA-sponsored technology. We seek to ensure the widest application of NASA-developed technology to benefit the Nation. NEAR TERM PLANS: - Increase the number and quality of technology partnerships with U.S. industry, and facilitate increased private sector access to NASA technical expertise and facilities
