Illustrations most with color. Annual report on technology transfer or "technology twice used" inventions from NASA. Since 1976 Spinoff has profiled technologies that benefit from NASA investment and expertise. These developments have transformed into commercial products and services that are used throughout daily life from your cell phone camera to the memory foam in your mattress. When Congress created NASA it mandated the agency disseminate its innovations as widely possible. To that end the Technology Transfer Program was created in 1964 and it has functioned ever since making it NASA’s longest continuously operated mission. Early publications about NASA inventions made available to the scientific and engineering communities resulted in feedback indicating a broad interest in the private sector in adapting NASA technology for commercial uses. As products began to emerge NASA began preparing annual reports on these successes to present at congressional budget hearings. Spinoff has been published in a four-color editionand it has been released every year since 1976. All together since its first edition NASA has shared the stories of more 2000 products and services that began as or have benefited from NASA technology. In addition to the general public NASA sends copies of Spinoff to politicians representatives at the United Nations economic decision makers company CEOs academics scientists engineers professionals in technology transfer the news media and many others. The early black-and-white Technology Utilization Program Reports published in 1973 and ‘74 generated so much public interest that NASA decided to turn them into an attractive publication for a general audience. NASA SPINOFF now features dozens of success stories annually online and in its print publication demonstrating the wider benefits of America’s investment in its space program. The 2005 edition highlights Partnership Benefits in Health and Medicine Transportation Public Safety Consumer/Home/Recreations Environment and Resources Management; Computer Technology and Industrial Productivity/Manufacturing Technology.
