Satellite Television They will use Atlasâ ground stations in Japan and Guam, and its Freedom Platform to retrieve and manage data.National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Earth observation satellites will use Atlasâ ground stations in Tahiti and Ghana to deliver intelligence to improve its tropical storm and hurricane prediction capabilities with virtually no human interaction.In the five years since its founding, Atlas has grown from 22 full-time employees to 30, expanded its office space, and is establishing five new ground sites, which will bring the total number of Atlas-owned ground stations to 14 before the end of the year.A space communications company in Traverse City today announced it has been awarded a research contract from NASA. Each item within the buildings has an explanation of how it started as NASA technology. After going through the virtual tours and reading the Spinoff Archives students can take the Spinoff Challenge to test their knowledge of NASA @ Home and City. Applications for Education NASA @ Home and City could be a great way for students to see that science, particularly space science, is all around them even when they don't realize it. The NASA Home & City interactive web app allows you to explore some of the spinoff technologies you can find in your everyday life, demonstrating the wider benefits of America's investments in its space program. NASA Home & City is an interactive experience for desktop and mobile devices that demonstrates the NASA Spinoff technologies that have come from America’s investment in space and have yielded new technologies that improve life across Earth. Atlas Space Operations has received a Small Business Innovation Research Phase II contract worth $750,000 from NASA to further the development of an algorithmic solution to improve satellite ground station contact schedules. Here is a list of the top 10 you might use in everyday life, or that may even have saved your life: Top 10 NASA Spinoffs #10. NASA has launched a new interactive website that lets you explore how NASA technology appears in everyday life. NASA Home & City features about 130 spinoff technologies in a virtual space, allowing users to tour through buildings and rooms to discover common items that NASA … "Spinoffs" are commercial products and services derived from NASA technology or improved through NASA partnerships. Posted on 18/07/2018 by NASA Posted in benefit, data, earth, map, nasa, nasa technology, planet, satellite, science, space, spinoff, tech, technology, transfer, water We could talk all day about how our satellite data is crucial for Earth science…tracking ocean currents, monitoring natural disasters, soil mapping – the list goes on and on. As an example, students can take a look inside a virtual airport to learn how features of commercial airplanes were improved by NASA. âThis effort represents a step change in the way we think about the communications segment as the common thread through the space industry and the markets it supports. NASA Home & City features about 130 spinoff technologies in a virtual space, allowing users to tour through buildings and rooms to discover common items that NASA inspired or helped improve. NASA doesn’t make, advertise or sell any commercial products, but it’s still a major source of American commercial innovation. The portal showcases commercial products that has utilised NASA technology originally developed for studying and exploring space. The website showcases only a small sample of NASA spinoff and dual-purpose technologies, NASA said in a statement. Once operational, both commercial and government are expected to will see substantial cost and time reductions.âWe are very excited to be working with NASA on introducing an industry first cognitive satellite operations platform,â says Sean McDaniel, CEO of Atlas Space Operations.

A space communications company in Traverse City today announced it has been awarded a research contract from NASA. The latest edition of NASA's Spinoff publication features dozens of commercial technologies that were developed or improved by the agency's space program, including by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, in Pasadena, California, and benefit people everywhere.
