SPINOFFS FROM THE SPACE PROGRAM Crossword

NASA developed ways to process signals from spacecraft to produce clearer images
This uses techniques developed for processing space pictures to examine eyes of children
instead of measuring temperature using a column of mercury and this technology was originally developed to detect the birth of stars
fabric developed for use in space suits
this was first used in the Earth orbiting space station called Skylab to help detect any toxic vapors
this comes from research done on materials to protect the eyes of welders working on spacecraft
this is a computer program developed by NASA to analyze a spacecraft or airplane design and predict how parts will perform
Portable, self-contained power tools were originally developed to help Apollo astronauts drill for moon samples
it uses NASA research in airfoils (wings) and design software developed for the space program
these have heating elements that run on rechargeable batteries worn on the inside wrist or embedded in the sole
it does not depend on gravity and it has pressured gas so it can be used upside down
these use accordion-like folds, like the design of space suits, to allow to flex without distortion, yet still give support and control
it has an extra-bright primary bulb and an independent backup system that has its own separate lithium battery
uses brackets that are made of a nearly invisible translucent (almost clear) ceramic material
developed for the astronauts to use in space (where spitting is not a very good idea)
these devices evolved from research to develop a controller for the Apollo Lunar Rover, and from other NASA research into how humans actually operate (called "human factors")
low-cost materials as the base for printed circuits (like those inside your computer) some of these "liquid crystal polymers"
NASA developed ways to correct errors in the signals coming from satellites
