Development for the space program include research into manufacturing methods and device miniaturization to reduce the weight and size of equipment going into the space vehicles. This was needed to minimize the amount of material to be launched into space. It resulted in many inventions and the development of new materials in manufacturing as well as the development of sensors and medical equipment such as the pacemaker. Much of this was made available to the public and businesses in various ways such as the publication of the Nasa Tech Brief magazine.
