ESA’s Technology Transfer Programme Office (TTPO) has successfully transferred over 200 space technologies to non-space sectors for applications as diverse as cooling suits for a Formula 1 racing team, a packaging system for potato crisps, and a ground penetrating radar to detect cracks in mine tunnels.

Many of the interesting, practical and exciting transfers from space to non-space applications are covered by success stories presenting intelligent solutions in the following fields:

• cars and trucks
• energy and power
• engineering
• environment and resources management
• fitness and sport
• health and medicine
• leisure and lifestyle
• safety and security
• textiles
