NASA Spinoffs
NASA Spinoff homepage - Listing of the current issue and previous back issues. Note: They are PDF files that range from 2 to over 100 MB in size.

Spinoff is a premier annual publication by NASA featuring successfully commercialized NASA technology. For more than 40 years, the NASA Innovative Partnerships Program has facilitated the transfer of NASA technology to the private sector, benefiting global competition and the economy. The resulting commercialization has contributed to the development of commercial products and services in the fields of health and medicine, industry, consumer goods, transportation, public health, computer technology, and environmental resources. Since 1976, Spinoff has featured between 40 and 50 (not all) of these commercial products annually. To see all of the NASA spinoffs, Spinoff maintains a searchable database of every technology published since its inception. This is a mostly unknown, very slightly publicized benefit NASA has provided the world over the years. This free transfer of technology is without charge.
