Spin-off technology
Motor bikers who sweat in protective leathers, or bakers at their ovens, may welcome electrically cooled underwear developed by a Spanish company from the space suits of ESA’s astronauts. ESA and its industrial contractors actively promote technology transfer from space to the ground. To reduce vibration in newly designed cars, a German firm markets software first used for ESA’s Columbus Laboratory on the International Space Station. A biomedical camera company in the UK has a new way to spot cancer cells using a superconducting detector developed by ESA’s space scientists. And so on -- expect many more spin-offs like these!
