Since its inception in 1976, Spinoff has featured myriad award-winning technologies that have been recognized by NASA and industry as forerunners in innovation. Here is a chronology of these winners, including the year(s) they were featured in Spinoff and the year they were awarded one (or more) of the following:
R&D 100
The R&D 100 Awards were established in 1963 to pick the 100 most technologically significant new products invented each year. For 45 years, the prestigious R&D 100 Awards have been helping provide new products with the needed recognition for success in the marketplace. Winning an R&D 100 Award provides a mark of excellence known to industry, government, and academia.
Space Technology Hall of FameThe Space Foundation and NASA created the Space Technology Hall of Fame in 1988. The award recognizes the life-changing technologies emerging from America’s space programs; honors the scientists, engineers, and innovators responsible; and communicates to the American public the significance of these technologies as a return on investment in their Space Program.
Since 1990, to recognize inventors of exceptional, cutting-edge NASA technologies, the NASA Inventions and Contributions Board has rewarded outstanding scientific and technical contributions through the NASA Invention of the Year Award.
NASA Software of the YearEstablished in 1994, the NASA Software of the Year Award is given to those programmers and developers who have created outstanding software for the Agency.
