Emerging Markets
Space technology has applications that extend across multiple markets and arenas, and the KSC team is looking for opportunities to collaborate with businesses and universities to take advantage of this potential.
The 30-plus laboratories at KSC provide research and development in the fields of chemistry, surface systems, physics, electrical and electronics systems, fluids, mechanical engineering, structural engineering, information technology and communications. The skills available and the innovations developed in those labs are diverse, and many have uses outside of spaceflight. Examples include chemochromic tape used for detecting hydrogen leaks, a new state-of-the art lightning detection system, new environmental remediation methods, high-efficiency insulation systems and cryogenic life support systems that can be used in closed environments such as underground mining operations.
In addition to facilitating the transfer of new technology to outside customers, NASA is targeting certain markets for collaboration, including space tourism and next-generation renewable energy. These efforts are part of NASA’s goal to foster the integration of new technologies and support industries that bring about healthy growth in the space economy.
