A real-world story of NASA technology finding a life beyond the mission.
About this technology
Overview
Vexcel Corporation, of Boulder, Colorado, received STTR funding through Goddard Space Flight Center to develop wireless sensor network technology that now aids in the high-speed handling of image data. This technology has uses in both the commercial sector, where it is used to relay satellite imagery to the desktop, and in the government sector, where NASA is finding continued use in terrestrial and interplanetary studies.
