What are the names of all the space spinoffs?
The influence of the space program has by now become so pervasive and is so quickly assimilated into our living patterns that we tend to take much of it for granted. Sometimes spinoffs are things that we could not live without, such as satellites for communications, broadcasting, and weather forecasting. Often they are simple things, like saran wrap or aluminum foil. Sometimes they help us have fun by improving upon designs for sports equipment. The following is a very brief sampling of a few of the spinoffs that make our lives healthier, more fun, and safer. 10 Best NASA Spinoffs: Life's DHA and ARA Algae- and fungus-based baby formula additives that are chock-full of brain-developing fatty acids. Liquidmetal A unique alloy-also known as metallic glass-that's more flexible and twice as strong as titanium. Paragon CRT contacts Lenses that reshape your corneas while you sleep, temporarily fixing nearsightedness. LifeShear LS-100 Cutter Pyrotechnic cutting tool that's 50 percent lighter and 70 percent cheaper than older explosive-powered choppers. FEMA uses it for rescues. Zeno A zit-zapping device that transmits heat to pimples, causing the offending bacteria to self-destruct. EagleEyes StimuLights Specs built for poor light-they let in vision-enhancing rays while blocking those that muddy your vision. Insuladd An additive consisting of hollow ceramic microcapsules that turn ordinary paint into insulation. GameReady Injury Treatment System Based on spacesuit tech, these wraps provide precise cold and compression therapy. PRP Powder Beeswax microcapsules that absorb oil and float at the surface to help clean up spills. Field Scout CM-1000 Chlorophyll Meter A plant stress detector that can sense nitrogen levels.
What are 5 space spinoffs?
There are more space technology spinoffs than people realize, and though most are used in Engineering, Industrial, and Scientific applications, but a few consumer applications that are more well known are:Lithium Ion Batteries - not originally developed for NASA, but NASA funded further development to power the HST / ISS Pistol Grip Tool. The technology has found its way into the global marketplace.Solid State Devices (SSD) - SSD technology was developed for the Hubble program. The original recording device on Hubble actually had magnetic recording tapes; the Solid State Recorder, developed in the early 90's and deployed on HST on the 1st Servicing/Repair mission, replaced the old recorder and is the foreunner of SSD devices. SSD technology is widely used today in Flash drives, SSD disk drives, etc.Tempurpedic Foam (Memory Foam) - The Tempurpedic company is the only one that used NASA's technology for memory foam, using the patented NASA technology through NASA's partnership program. The material was specifically designed for use on Astronaut seats in the Shuttle.Imaging Technology - CMOS sensor technology, widely used in digital cameras, medical scanners, and many other applications, was further developed for use on the Hubble Telescope. Imaging technology continues to advance as a result.MARCbot - The MARCbot, currently used by thousands of soldiers in Iraq to locate IED's, was significantly upgraded by NASA engineers, improving its capability, mobility, and cost per unit.You can view many of the hundreds of spinoffs at NASA's Spinoff site - the link is below.

What are three examples of medical spinoffs from the space program?
Space

What are five spinoffs from space exploration?
bar codes, pacemakers, TV satellite, Black and Decker cordless products, ski boots, and toothpaste
What are four examples of space spinoffs?
The star mapping technology (telescope) is now used to detect breast cancer and early staged tumours.
How will nasa's missions affect life on earth?
The science done at NASA to be able to do some of the things involved in space exploration has spinoffs that end up being used in everyday processes here on the ground.
How many Pokemon verions are there?
For the actual versions no spinoffs there is 15 so far.
Is there a link between totally spies and the amazing spiez?
yes it is but they are not related they are spinoffs
Is spinoffs develop a logical argument to support the functing of NASA's space program?
Yes. Every dollar spent on NASA tends to return at least 7 dollars from tech spinoff. So it is a good investment that pays off well.
Steve Morgan was the narrator for what TV series as well as each of its spinoffs?
Law & Order
Is there more to the Fate stay night series than the anime?
Yes, There's the spinoffs.
