Office of Aerospace Technology Commercial Technology Program Overview Briefing to TIGR Conference 16 May 2001
NASA Commercial Technology MissionNASA’s Commercial Mission Technology mission is to impart benefits of it’s technological developments and assets toward growth of the national economy, to improve quality of life for citizens, and to contribute to the strength of the U.S. industrial base. To accomplish this mission, NASA will proactively support the development of its technology through focused technology development partnerships with U.S. businesses and will accelerate the transfer of technical innovation to commercial developers of products and services.Innovative Pre-competitive technology partnerships with industry are the cornerstone of the commercial technology successes.
NASA COMMERCIAL TECHNOLOGY Agenda for Change July 1994 NASA Commercial Technology Program Mission Share the Harvest of Aerospace Technology with the U.S. Industrial Community Goals Provide Agency-wide focus on technology transfer and commercialization efforts Transition from technology “spin-off” mode into a more proactive, dual-use partnership model Expand NASA partnerships with U.S. industry to increase economic benefit and improve quality of life. Activity Implement NASA’s Agenda for Change
