Everyday telephone calls
Communication Satellite makes communication
easier through phones and the receiving of radio
signals. World wide satellite telephone systems,
which are able to make communications on large
areas including land and ocean have been made.

Internet Services
That is Communication between two or more
Computers, as a result of Communication
Satellites in Space we have services such as
e-mail, e-banking, e-commerce, e-marriage etc.
6
Weather Forecasting
Through Space Science and Technology there is
provision of continuous, up-to-date information
about large-scale atmospheric conditions such as
cloud cover and temperature profiles.
7
Better Understanding about the earth and the
outer space
These satellites allow scientists to gather
valuable data about the earth's ecosystem
helped humanity to improve their science
knowledge in related subjects. Many mysteries of
the universe have been revealed. Over ten
thousand astronomic objects were spotted by using
complex space technology instruments

Ships and Aircraft navigation

• Transit satellites
• provide constant
• signals by which aircraft and ships can
  determine their
• positions with great
• accuracy. Global
• satellites now provide
• very precise
• Positional
• information.
• GPS units have dramatically improved search and
  rescue operations.

Disaster Management
Flood waters begin to rise in a neighborhood of
Galveston, Texas.
Image of Hurricane Ike on September 4, 2008 as it
began to near peak intensity. The image was taken
by the International Space Station (ISS) from
over 220 miles (350 km) above the
hurricane. During the overnight hours of
September 1, Ike stopped intensifying as part of
the eastern band began to

Health and Medical Spinoffs
16
ICU Monitoring Systems

• Intensive Care Unit developed from systems used
  to monitor astronauts during the space missions
  is now transferred to our hospitals for treatment
  of patients.

FETAL HEART MONITOR
Technology originally used to measure airflow
over aircraft wings has been used to develop a
more affordable, portable, non-invasive,
easy-to-use fetal heart monitor.
18
The technology used in space shuttle fuel pumps
led to the development of a miniaturized
ventricular assist pump by NASA and renowned
heart surgeon Dr. Michael DeBakey. The tiny pump
-- 2-inches long, 1-inch in diameter and weighing
less than four ounces -- is currently undergoing
European clinical trials where it has been
successfully implanted into more than 20 people.

PROSTHESIS MATERIAL
THE FOAM INSULATION USED TO PROTECT THE SHUTTLE'S
EXTERNAL TANK replaces the heavy, fragile plaster
used to produce master molds for prosthetics. The
new material is light, virtually indestructible
and easy to ship and store for crafting and
fitting orthopedic appliances such as artificial
limbs

COOL SUIT
Custom-made suit derived from space suits
circulates coolant through tubes to lower
patient's body temperature, producing dramatic
improvement of symptoms of multiple sclerosis,
cerebral palsy and other conditions.

Transportation and Public Safety Spinoffs
23
Development in aerospace technologies
Lighter, Cheaper and Better Aircrafts have been
made as a result of new discoveries in the space
science and technology.
24
Grooved Highways and Runways

• NASA research showed that cutting thin grooves
  across concrete runways reduces the risk of
  hydroplaning.
• These grooves improve aircraft tire friction
  performance in wet conditions by 200-300.

25
Highway Monitoring

• Monitoring of traffic at multiple intersections
  and highways was developed from NASA Mission
  Control technology.

Cooking Dinner at HomeFrom the Office
Connectlo Intellient Oven.
Applying the same remote command and control
concepts that NASA uses to run experiments on the
International Space Station (ISS), ConnectIo
allows its owners to cook dinner from the road,
via a cell phone, personal digital assistant, or
Internet connection

SCRATCH-RESISTANT LENSES 
From the development of cameras in satellites,
transfer of the technology in production of
scratch-resistant lenses which are 10 times more
scratch-resistant than conventional glass lenses

Environmental and Resource Management
31
Resource Monitoring

• Remote sensing technology developed for analysis
  of planetary images has improved agricultural
  production and urban management e.g.
• Similar technology can be used for natural
  resources management.

Computer Technology
34
Miniaturization

• Much of the technology which has led to smaller
  computers was derived from NASAs need to reduce
  weight on space missions.

Scientific Knowledge
36
Education

• Kids love space!
• Space-themed activities help to inspire many
  students to study math and science.

It pays to explore, lets invest more into space
technology to explore the universe for betterment
of humanity.
