1. Solar Panels: Solar technology developed for space missions can now be used to produce energy on Earth.
2. Water Filtration: Technologies developed to purify water on spaceships and satellites are being applied to produce fresh drinking water.
3. Memory Foam: Memory foam was originally developed for NASA to provide cushioning for astronauts during launch and re-entry has now found applications in mattresses, pillows, shoes, and helmets.
4. LED lighting: Energy-efficient LEDs used in space exploration have now become an efficient lighting technology for homes and buildings.
5. Robotic Surgery: Surgical robots developed by NASA have been adapted for medical use for performing precise surgeries while reducing recovery time.
6. GPS: Global Positioning System (GPS) was originally developed for the U.S. Air Force, it is now widely used for navigation, mapping, and real-time tracking by drivers, hikers, sailors, and air traffic control.
7. Dustbuster: NASA’s dustbuster technology is being used in air purifiers, vacuum cleaners, and other applications.
8. Insulation: Insulation materials originally developed for spacecraft help maintain a comfortable temperature in buildings.
9. Air Purification: Technologies used to maintain breathable air for astronauts in space can now remove contaminants from the air we breathe on Earth.
10. Freeze-Drying: Freeze-drying technology developed for space food is used for preserving food, medicine, and other perishable items on Earth.
