Doris When NASA first starts developing new technologies w/ partners, are these R&D projects mostly classified?

Good question. No, the projects are generally not classified. For example, NASA's Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program--a major source of technology development and transfer partnerships--announces the recipients of SBIR contracts each year. You can find the press release and list of all companies that have entered into 2009 SBIR agreements with NASA here: http://www.nasa.gov/home/hqnews/2009/nov/HQ_09-274_SBIR-STTR.html

Well said! One of the ways NASA supports fundamental research and the development of new technologies is through the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program, which provides millions of dollars each year to small U.S. companies creating innovations that benefit NASA's goals in space and also improve life on Earth. For some spinoffs from the SBIR program, have a look here: http://www.sti.nasa.gov/tto/pdf/SBIR_web.pdf

NASA Spinoff There's a lot of controversy about the new guidelines for breast cancer screening. What's hard to debate, though, is the benefit of NASA technologies in health and medicine, including enhancements that have been applied to digital mammography biopsy techniques.

NASA Spinoff The LCROSS mission has confirmed the presence of water on the Moon, a discovery that may increase the viability of a permanent Moon base. Water is always a major concern for space missions, and technologies for providing clean water for astronauts are now also improving water quality on Earth. Here's an example from th......e new Spinoff 2009: http://www.sti.nasa.gov/tto/Spinoff2009/er_2.html

www.sti.nasa.gov
Water, an increasingly precious commodity on Earth, has always been priceless in space; but “priceless” is a figure of speech—water in space does have a price, and it is an expensive one. A single gallon of water costs over $83,000 to launch just into low-Earth orbit. ...
