This publication focuses on spinoff benefits of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration space program developments. The first of the three sections describes the direct benefits of space exploration and aeronautical research. Some of these direct benefits are expanding knowledge about our solar system and our universe, the development of a versatile and reusable shuttle craft, increased safety for commercial and private airplanes, improved weather prediction and pollution monitoring. The second section describes the secondary benefits of NASA's main programs. Many of these secondary benefits are commercially available or are in industrial use. Some secondary benefits described are solar heating and generating developments; more efficient home heating cooling, and construction; several computer assisted medical aids and programs; heat pipes for the Alaska pipeline; forest fire fighting aids; and packaged meals for the elderly. The third section describes how NASA Technology Utilization Office makes new technology available and encourages its use by others. (MR)
