Since the dawn of America's space program, technology developed to get us "out there" has also served us well here on Earth.

The Space Foundation, in cooperation with NASA, has proudly conducted the Space Technology Hall of Fame since 1988, inducting dozens of technologies and honoring hundreds of organizations and individuals who quietly transform technology originally developed for space exploration into products that help improve the quality of life here on Earth. Induction into the Space Technology Hall of Fame affords space technology innovators much deserved recognition. It also serves to increase public awareness of the benefits of space technology and encourage further innovation.
