Description
The rationale and current activity to implement the the Space Shuttle are tangible evidence of the maturing development of the United States Space Program.
For the industrial community, the Shuttle can become a safe, economical, and frequent transportation system to the unique environment of space, which offers a potential resource of previously unavailable capabilities to develop or produce new products, processes or services. This paper provides an initial compilation of such products, processes and services that have been identified by specific organizations whose future operations are linked to new and/or better products, processes and services which offer economic and sociological benefits to the public.
While this paper is based upon the results of a NASA Contract, NAS8-28179, "A Study for Identification of Beneficial Uses of Space"(^), there is no implied or actual NASA endorsement of any specific product, process, or service identified herein, nor is there a NASA commitment to pursue any program based on such results.
