A real-world story of NASA technology finding a life beyond the mission.

About this technology

Overview

Under an SBIR contract with Goddard Space Flight Center, (NAS5-32730), Frederick A. Costello, Inc., has developed a low-cost computer program for integrating thermal modeling with other engineering disciplines. TCON(tm) Concurrent Engineering Software enables graphical user-interface programs to create 3 dimensional models. This technology reduces time, and facilitates accuracy while performing these applications. TCON(tm) has been sold to NASA and major US industries.
