Washington DC: National Aeronautics and Space Administration, 1991. Presumed First Edition, First printing thus. Wraps. [2], 2-6, [9], [2] including covers. Appendix: Examples of NASA Patents Currently Available for Licensing. Illustrations. This document opens with " A Message for Admiral Truly to the American Taxpayers'. "NASA, as it develops new technology, must ensure that this technology is transferred into the private sector. The taxpayer's investment in NASA is an investment in the international competitiveness of U.S. Industry." NASA owned over one thousand patents and patent applications which protect inventions in hundreds of different subject matter categories. NASA makes these inventions available to industry through its Patent Licensing Programs, which is administered by the NASA Office of General Counsel, NASA Headquarters, Washington, DC. More

Format 8.5 inches by 11 inches oblong. 167, [1] pages. Wraps. Profusely illustrated (many in color). Maps, Cover slightly worn and soiled. Foreword by Administrator Michael D. Griffin. Michael Douglas Griffin (born November 1, 1949) is an American physicist and aerospace engineer. He served as Administrator of NASA, the U.S. space agency, from April 13, 2005, to January 20, 2009. As NASA Administrator Griffin oversaw such areas as the future of human spaceflight, the fate of the Hubble telescope and NASA's role in understanding climate change. In April 2009 Griffin, who has an academic background, was named eminent scholar and a professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering at the University of Alabama in Huntsville. Griffin had worked at NASA prior to serving as NASA Administrator, including as Associate Administrator for Exploration. When he was nominated as NASA chief, he was head of the Space Department at the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) in Laurel, Maryland. While he describes himself modestly as a "simple aerospace engineer from a small town", Griffin has held several high-profile political appointments. In 2007 he was included in the TIME 100, the magazine's list of the 100 most influential people. Introduction by Merle McKenzie, Acting Director, Innovative Partnerships Program. She had previously been manager of JPL's Technology Transfer and Commercialization Program. More

Quarto, 133, [1] pages. Wraps. Profusely illustrated (most in color). Maps, Cover slightly worn and soiled. Special Millennium Feature. Foreword by Administrator Daniel S. Goldin. Daniel Saul Goldin (born July 23, 1940) served as the 9th and longest-tenured Administrator of NASA from April 1, 1992, to November 17, 2001. He was appointed by President George H. W. Bush and also served under Presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush. He began his career at NASA's Lewis Research Center in Cleveland, Ohio that year, and worked on electric propulsion systems for human interplanetary travel. Goldin left NASA a few years later to work at the TRW Space and Technology Group in Redondo Beach, California. During a 25-year career at TRW, Goldin eventually became Vice President and General Manager and led projects that conceptualized and produced advanced communication spacecraft, space technologies, and scientific instruments. When Goldin returned to NASA as administrator, he pioneered the "faster, better, cheaper" approach that proposed NASA could cut costs while still delivering a wide variety of aerospace programs.

Washington, DC: National Aeronautics and Space Administration, Office of Aerospace Technology, Commercial Technology Division, 2004. Presumed First Edition, First printing thus. Wraps. Quarto, 137, [1] pages. Wraps. Profusely illustrated (most in color). Maps, Cover slightly worn and soiled. Foreword by Administrator Sean O'Keefe. Sean Charles O'Keefe (born January 27, 1956) is the university professor at Syracuse University Maxwell School, former chairman of Airbus Group, Inc., former Secretary of the Navy, former Administrator of NASA, and former chancellor of Louisiana State University (LSU). He is a former member of the board of directors of DuPont. O'Keefe became NASA administrator on December 21, 2001 after the United States Senate confirmed his nomination. He came to NASA without formal training in science or engineering (as was the case with James E. Webb who was NASA administrator from 1961 to 1968). O'Keefe's tenure at NASA can be divided into roughly three equal periods, each marked by a single problem or event of overriding importance:; in the period December 2001 through January 2003, O'Keefe eliminated a $5 billion cost overrun in the construction of the International Space Station. In 2003 the Space Shuttle Columbia accident and its aftermath. From January 2004 through February 2005, O'Keefe reorganized NASA to start working on President George W. Bush's newly announced Vision for Space Exploration to send humans to the Moon and Mars. Introduction by Benjamin Neumann, Program Director, Innovative Partnerships Program. More

Fort Meade, MD: National Security Agency, Technology & Systems Directorate, Research and Technology Group-R, Office of Research and Technology Applications (ORTA), c1990. Presumed First Edition, First printing. Wraps. Format is approximately 9 inches by 12 inches. Pocket at inside rear cover (empty). 16 pages, plus covers. Illustrations (color). Rare early surviving example of NSA's initial technology transfer outreach publications. This is a promotional publication encouraging private sector partnerships with the National Security Agency to develop and commercialize dual-use technologies. It is believed to have been produced after the passage of several Technology Transfer statues in the late 1980s and may have been produced as part of President George H. W. Bush's National Technology Initiative. The NSA Technology Transfer Program (TTP) transfers NSA-developed technology to industry, academia, and other research organizations, benefitting the economy and the Agency mission. The program has an extensive portfolio of patented technologies across multiple technology areas. NSA scientists and engineers have developed cutting-edge, cost-saving technologies. Through Patent License Agreements, Cooperative Research and Development Agreements, Open Source Software Releases, Education Partnership Agreements, and Technology Transfer Sharing Agreements, these technical advances have contributed to the creation and improvement of dual-use products both for government and the commercial marketplace. The NSA TTP offers business and industry streamlined access to NSA technology. The program identifies technologies and research capabilities, providing a single point-of-contact for drafting, negotiating, and brokering both licensing and R&D agreements. More
