23 daily items that we would not have without NASA

These innovative ideas come from the same people who explore space.


Since its creation in 1958, NASA has launched us in space, put us on the moon, and even 60 years later, they arealways busyThe discovery of new planets. But did you know that NASA really changed our everyday life and with some very useful inventions? If it has not been for technological advances and innovative creations of the organization, we have many things we use every day. Curious to know exactly what we would be missing if it was not for NASA? Then read the rest to know that ordinary things we should be written of NASA "Thank you" for notes.

The next time you use in a good pair of sports shoes, be sure to thank NASA. In the late 80s, the AVIA shoe manufacturer was on missionCreate a sports shoe with longer life. In partnership with Aerospace Engineer ApolloAl GrossThey have released their intermediate sole in 1990 compression chamber, which uses the same technology that is in spatial combinations to retain shock absorption, stability and flexibility properties.

In the 90s, the Experts-Exploration of the space developed a software capable ofThe fixation of uncorrected GPS data. It was originally from NASA for the US Air Force, but has since been shared with commercial and private pilots, as well as most of the major precision GPS providers. Thank you, NASA!

It's hard to believe, but theThe first computer mouse Was created all the backs in the 1960s, well before the use of marketed computers. At the time, an innovator Stanford Research Institute by the name ofDouglas EngelbartIn partnership with NASABob Taylor, Who was looking for a simple way to better interact with computer-assisted screens, and withGRANT OF THE ORGANIZATIONThey created and patented the first computer mouse.

In the 1990s, a team of the NASA laboratory was responsible forThe search for ways to improve image sensors So that they can use miniature cameras on ASTRONEFS without sacrificing image quality. main researcherEric fossum ended up creating the technology of the active pixel sensors of complementary metal oxide semiconductors (CMOS), and it authorized its invention after others expressed doubts. It was a good thing for fossum, because more than one billion CMOS image sensors are now manufactured each year and are used in virtually all digital cameras and video. Indeed, without this creation, it is very unlikely that we even have cell phone cameras.

Of course, NASA is helping people arrive at the moon, but on earth, they are also helping you get sleep a better night. As NASA-funded researchers were looking for ways for pilots during flights in Protecting the 1960s, theyDeveloped in memory foam as padding. Today, it is used to make beds, sofas, chairs, shoes, movie seats, and even football helmets.

In the 1970s, NASA in partnership with how to purify drinking water on space trips of Long Umpque Research Company (URC). Ultimately,They have developed a system Called the biocid regenerable delivery unit, which eliminated the need for frequent replacements of the cartridge used to purify the water supply. This technology is now used to purify large municipal water systems in many developing countries, cleaning drinking water for thousands of people every day.

In 1972, theFood and Drug Administration (FDA) has put a settlement on sunglasses and prescription glasses that forced them to be shock resistant, leading to the use of plastic glass on. However, if it will not break easily, the plastic drop was that there was no scratch resistant.

Thus, in the 1980s,After obtaining a license from NASA For their anti-scratch coating technology used on headphones of the astronaut space and other aerospace equipment, the Foster-Grant glasses business combined their own technology over a decade in manufacturing for Produce high quality plastic lenses, scratch-resistant. Nowadays, the majority of the lenses sold in the United States use this technology.

What is a spatial organization like NASA to do with road safety here on the planet Earth? Well, they helped implement the use ofSafety groove, which increases traction on roads and tracks and reduces hydroplanization and slippage.

This security technology was first used by NASA to keep planes, such as the return of space shuttles, safely during landing. Since then, it has been applied to commercial trails at the airport, highways, stairs, sidewalks, parking lots and more. After being publicly implemented in 1985, a report of theCalifornia Division of Highways-Weed before and after groove studies at 14 locations - showed that Grooving has decreased 85% wet weather accidents.

NASA has not only played part of the road improvement, but also inImprovement of tires. In the mid-2000s, NASA engineers have joined Goodyear to develop the spring tire, which supports heavy loads and complies with all terrain, especially sweet and rocky sand. Organizationsnew partner produceSuperleaf tire, which can be used both on moon missions, to March, and also here on land instead of off-road pneumatic tires.

Although the circulation of natural air protects us from ethylene gas vapors released from plants when growing, the same luxury is not available in the sealed environment of a spacecraft. To fight that, NASADeveloped technology of the ethylene purifier To purify the air in space, and this technology is now used to keep clean air in kitchens, hospitals, hotels and even in grocery stores where production needs fresh air to stay, well, costs.

When reintegrating the atmosphere, astronauts faceextreme Temperatures. Provide appropriate insulation and protection, NASAdeveloped a line Textile tissues resistant to heat and flames consisting of polybenzimidazole or PBI, for use in space and spatial vehicles. This material was then introduced in the late 70s for use in fire equipment, because if it's good enough for people traveling in space, it will work for us here on Earth.
