For the past 43 years, NASA has devoted its facilities, labor force, and expertise to sharing the abundance of techlogy developments used for its missions with the nation's industries. These countless techlogies have t only successfully contributed to the growth of the U.S. ecomy, but also to the quality of life on Earth. For the past 25 years, NASA's Spiff publication has brought attention to thousands of techlogies, products, and services that were developed as a direct result of commercial partnerships between NASA and the private business sector. Many of these exciting techlogies included advances in ceramics, computer techlogy, fiber optics, and remote sensing. New and ongoing research at the NASA field centers covers a full spectrum of techlogies that will provide numerous advantages for the future, many of which have made significant strides in the commercial market. The NASA Commercial Techlogy Network plays a large role in transferring this progress. By applying NASA techlogies such as data communication, aircraft de-icing techlogies, and invative materials to everyday functions, American consumers and the national ecomy benefit. Moving forward into the new millennium, these new techlogies will further advance our country's position as the world leader in scientific and technical invation. These cutting-edge invations represent the investment of the U.S. citizen in the Space Program. Some of these techlogies are highlighted in Spiff 2001, an example of NASA's commitment to techlogy transfer and commercialization assistance. This year's issue spotlights the commercial techlogy efforts of NASA's John F. Kennedy Space Center. Kennedy's extensive network of commercial techlogy opportunities has enabled them to become a leader in techlogy transfer outreach. This kind of leadership is exemplified through Kennedy's recent partnership with the State of Florida, working toward the development of the Space Experiment Research and Processing Laboratory. The new laboratory is the first step toward the development of a proposed 400-acre Space Commerce Park, located at Kennedy Space Center. Spiff, once again, successfully showcases the variety of commercial successes and benefits resulting from the transfer of NASA techlogy to private industry. It is with great pride and pleasure that we present Spiff 2001 with a Special Millennium Feature. With help from U.S. industry and commercial techlogy programs, NASA will continue to assist in the presentation of invative new products to our nation.
