Dissemination of Industrially Useful Space Technology

A program sponsored by NASA, is under way in the Middlewest to determine effective ways of speeding up the transfer of space-related technical developments to industry. Over 600 firms are now being supplied information about latest developments in operating techniques, materials, processes, and products. First-year findings indicate strong interest in relatively new technical areas, cost-reduction possibilities, and NASA inventions and patents; less interest in totally new products.
