HAMPTON, Va. -- Craig Collier, president of Collier Research 
Corporation, shows NASA Deputy Administrator Lori Garver some of the

The Orion mock-up is shown in a laboratory at NASA Langley where it is 
undergoing additional testing.

Collier's company was the first company to license software from NASA 
Langley. NASA licenses technology and hardware as part of the 
agency's effort to transfer NASA-developed technology to U.S. 
businesses.

Garver, who also spoke to employees about NASA's proposed FY13 budget, 
said, "The best value of NASA is in American innovation. It's an 
investment in America, and the work you're doing at Langley is 
creating a foundation for the economy."
