Few people realize how many irreplaceable everyday technologies were originally developed as components to space exploration. Ever taken a selfie or used a handheld vacuum? These innovations, originally devised to explore beyond our planet, have taken on important roles in our daily existence here on Earth. Meanwhile, other products are designed to inspire the next great discoveries by encouraging an interest in the cosmos and space science. The Certified Space Technology® Program highlights companies and products that promote space technology and awareness in the following ways:
- Direct Use of Space Technology
Products or services that directly employ technologies originally developed for space exploration to improve life here on Earth.
- Spinoffs of Space Technology
Products or services developed by re-engineering and evolving pre-existing space technology to address and satisfy everyday needs here on Earth.
Certified Space Technology®
Products and services that use scientific knowledge from space-derived technologies in new and diverse ways to benefit life on Earth.
Terms and Fees
The primary purpose of the Certified Space Technology® program is to provide special recognition and support to businesses producing products and services based on space-related technology.

To meet those two goals, Certification approval and recognition are available on an annual basis. Actual certification fees are based on several factors and are determined after the successful completion of the application and verification process.
