Space programs and human space travel are drivers of innovation as described in Lesson 1.2 Space-Based Innovations. These space innovations and technological developments have inspired the development of everyday items. The camera on your phone, a computer mouse, cordless vacuums, Nike Air sneakers, Global Positioning System (GPS), and freeze-dried foods are just a few of the space-based innovations that you may recognize. Space-inspired innovations also help to keep you safe (smoke detectors) and healthy (insulin pumps, water filtration, cochlear impacts, and baby formula).
