“NASA gets asked to do things that have never been done before, and in the process we inevitably invent things that have never existed before,” says Lockney.For decades, NASA has worked with commercial partners to put together the pieces for every mission, which include not just rockets and spacecraft but also spacesuits, space food, equipment, software, and technologies developed to monitor and protect astronauts’ health. Lunar Outpost built its sensor to meet specifications laid out in NASA’s Next Space Technologies for Exploration Partnerships (NextSTEP) program, which invited private companies to propose ideas for structures astronauts could inhabit on the moon. After that project, the company came up with a version for Earth, the solar-powered Canary-S, offering low-cost, wireless monitoring of air quality and weather.Another example, also mentioned in the report, stems from a collaboration between NASA and General Motors engineers that resulted in the design for the Robonaut 2, or R2, a humanoid robot meant to work alongside astronauts to take on repetitive or dangerous tasks in places like the International Space Station. That’s where we come in, because this creates strain injuries in the hand,” says Mikael Wester, Bioservo’s marketing director.Swedish company Bioservo Technologies’ Ironhand, based on a set of patents from NASA and GM’s Robo-Glove, is the world’s first industrial-strength robotic glove for factory workers and others who perform repetitive manual tasks.NASA has also long experimented with space farming, growing everything from chile peppers on the ISS to foods meant for long-distance voyages to Mars.
