Many of the technologies currently in place began with NASA's quest for the stars. Benefits reaped from technology transfer are far-ranging and touch each of us in everyday life, from advances in medical research, environmental protection, energy conservation, and computer applications to improvements in firefighting techniques, police protection, and emergency management. These technologies brought about by America's space program are available to private industry, universities, and other government agencies. Through the course of time, Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC) has played a major role in space exploration that will continue to benefit mankind. MSFC-managed microgravity experimentation conducted aboard the Space Shuttle and the International Space Station will further increase our knowledge for years to come. |
