About Home & City

Have you ever wondered how space exploration affects your daily life? “Spinoffs” are commercial products and services derived from NASA technology or improved through NASA partnerships. These technologies—developed for the study of space and Earth—are responsible for billions of dollars in both revenue and saved costs, tens of thousands of jobs created, and improved quality of living across the United States and around the world. Our NASA Home & City interactive web app allows you to explore some of the spinoff technologies you can find in your everyday life, demonstrating the wider benefits of America’s investments in its space program.
