SPINOFFS FROM SPACE EXPLORATION

• A presentation by Ayodele Faiyetole
• of ARCSSTEE, OAU-Campus, Ile-Ife
• At the 2nd National Workshop of IHY-Nigeria,
  held at Tai Solarin University of Education,
  Ijebu-Ode, Nigeria

Down 2 Earth

• Space Technology Spin-off is a return on the
  enormous investment in space research which has
  been found useful to us here on Earth.
• These Spin-offs have touched every facet of our
  life Energy, Health, Safety, Telecommunication,
  Lifestyle etc.
• As a result of our continuous research in Space
  Technology, the Future seems brighter, and we
  expect to live better life.

Impact of aerospace engineering principles
deliver implant techniques for deaf ears
5
Point of Care Testing for Animals
Compact but yet powerful devices used by
astronauts to monitor their body functions during
missions led to the development of compact
equipment used in testing animals with in-office
capability

Keeping Cool with Solar-Powered Refrigeration
Power for satellites now power for home appliances
15
Keeping an Eye on Earth

• Keeping an eye on the ways land is used here on
  Earth is an important concern for the government.
• Doing this on the ground is time consuming and
  expensive.
• It is conveniently done from Space by employing
  Earth-Observation technology to assess how land
  is used.
• We also use it to monitor climate change using
  different analysis software.

18
Wireless Handheld Computer
The connection between different type of devices
19
Coping with cruel nature

• One of the key features of technology developed
  for space is that it is often well suited to cope
  with the most inhospitable conditions on Earth.
• Space environment is extremely cold and
  uninviting place.
• Space-based technologies such as Man Machine
  Interface (MMI), ground penetrating radar,
  loss-less data, image compression and space
  robotics etc are being used in Mining, , Oil
  gas, Pipelines, forestry, and paper industries.
