microgravity technology transfer

Microgravity technology transfer involves adapting innovations developed for space environments, where gravity is very weak, for use on Earth. Scientists and engineers create specialized tools, materials, or processes in space research—like advanced materials or medical devices—that can be modified and applied to benefit industries such as healthcare, manufacturing, and transportation on Earth. This transfer process leverages the unique conditions of microgravity to develop solutions that improve everyday products or processes, ultimately bridging space research with terrestrial applications to enhance quality of life and economic growth.
