In June of 1989, a report was released by the Chapman Research Group, Inc., entitled 'An Exploration of Benefits from NASA Spinoff'. It explores the real benefits and applications of NASA technologies as reported in the annual NASA Spinoff publication and attempts to identify and quantify these benefits. The report recognizes that the Spinoff publication does not include all examples known, but provides a database from which a study can be made and conclusions reported. Conclusions from this report are summarized here. All steps taken by the federal government to enable potential users to have access to new technological ideas are covered as well as the mechanisms, such as the NASA Technology Utilization network and the Federal Laboratory Consortium, which opens doors to new technologies. Also, recent technology transfer agreements signed by the Marshall Center and several area state governments are discussed.
