NASA's role in the industrial and commercial development of space is examined. The objectives of the Office of Commercial Programs are discussed. The technology dissemination and technology applications of the Technology Utilization Program are described; examples of successful technology transfers such as the programmable implantable medication system, automatic implantable defibrillation, and the ultrasonic residual stress monitor are provided. Future goals of this program are considered. The Center for Commercial Development of Space program is designed to stimulate space-related research which will produce new products with commercial applications. Examples of NASA-supported R&D projects are presented.
