Space Alliance Technology Outreach Program (SATOP)
The Space Alliance Technology Outreach Program is a cooperative program sponsored by the Bay Area Houston Economic Partnership, NASA, and key contractors. The SATOP program is designed to assist small businesses through technology developed from space exploration. However, it does not have to be a space related industry or problem. Thousands of NASA's ideas and inventions can be applied to industry, and SATOP's goal is to accelerate the transfer of these ideas and inventions to small business owners by offering free assistance from NASA technical teams. The teams can explore engineering, process evaluation, design work or applications, computer programming, etc. for any type business. SATOP has helped companies with rotor failures, medical inventions, assembly techniques, and other issues. For more information on the program or assistance, call (281) 486-5535 or visit http://www.spacetechsolutions.com/
