NASA may be most famous for its role in exploring space and placing humans on the moon. However, what might not be realized by many people, is that agent can be said to be better for a better life on Earth than what is done in space exploration. That Revelation should not be surprising. While the main mission of the agency is focused on space, actually reaching that goal requires an extraordinary number of innovations and thought outside the box. More often than not, products, services, and methods designed to solve problems in the room have valuable applications on earth. In addition to the technology developed for space, NASA also focuses several of its development efforts specifically for terrestrial humanitarian problems currently being faced.
Increased prosthetic legs, solar panels, frozen dry foods, dust dust, memory foam, air purifiers, athletic shoes, and resistant-based exercise machines are only a few of the everyday items NASA has hands in the past few decades (through TEMPO 24/7). Truely formed, this week NASA glows on some of the latest spinoff projects, some of which can be every bit as a revolutionary as the item listed above.
NASA has released a 2022 spin-off publication here in January 2022, detailing several innovative ways companies using technology and methods that have been pioneered. The details of the publication of more than 45 companies use various NASA technologies in various industries.
“NASA technology portfolio contains many innovations that not only allow exploration but also handle challenges and improve life here at home,” said Jim Reuter, Administrator Associate from the Directorate of Foreign Technology Mission (STMD) in Washington. “We have captured the examples of successful commercialization of NASA technology and research, not only to share the benefits of the space program with the public but to inspire the next generation of entrepreneurs.” We have taken a short peek in some of the main examples of big NASA projects included in spinoff this year, starting with agricultural techniques that you might see or read in your favorite film or science fiction stories.
One of the main highlights of this program is vertical agriculture. Vertical agriculture, also called a controlled agricultural environment (CEA), is the ideal solution for space travel, because maximizing available space, minimizing resource use, and does not depend on traditional sunlight.
Plenty Unlimited Inc. is one of the companies that use NASA innovation and apply it to terrestrial agriculture. According to agencies, companies can successfully farm food using only 1% of the water to be consumed by traditional farms. Many can also farm all year long, and place vertical farms in cities. By placing farms in the room, plants are protected from environmental factors that can produce results of negative impacts. What’s more, because plants are planted vertically, CEA takes a much less space. In fact, plenty farm two Acre rivals traditional agriculture 720 hectares, in terms of results.
Pandemic Covid-19 shows light on the need for a better air filtration system, especially after it is found that air transmission is one of the main means the virus spreads.
Fortunately, NASA has a long history of developing air filtration technology for ships and space stations, and the company wants to put the innovation for use in the war against Covid. ActivePure Technology, TFI Environmental Company Inc., and AirGloss are several companies that use air filtration designed NASA.
Because NASA technology benefits provide, the products of these companies – which are considered niche products before the pandemic – suddenly in high demand so that the companies struggle to follow it.
