In
1958, Congress mandated the National Aeronautics and Space Administration
(NASA) to disseminate the greatest amount of information possible
resulting from its research and development efforts to the public.
Forty-one years later, NASA's Commercial
Technology Network, along with each NASA field center's Commercial
Technology Office, is extending the reach of NASA technology
into the everyday lives of the American public. The wide network
of organizations focuses on transferring technology and provides
a vast array of products and services geared to enhance and further
the global competitiveness of U.S. industry.
The Commercial Technology Division at
NASA Headquarters and the Commercial Technology Offices at each
field center serve as gateways to accessing the cutting-edge
research and technology available for transfer and commercial
use. Each year, NASA Spinoff highlights this technology
transfer.
