Overcoming Earth's attraction and reaching space is more difficult. It's not just about strength, it's about math and science. Using this knowledge, people have made their presence known in space since the last century. While solving various problems, sometimes scientists penetrate the mysteries of nature, sometimes they find a way to make life a little easier. Those ways and technologies have made our life much easier and more enjoyable. Let's know about those 5 technologies.
Space technology
Water purification system
In 1960, NASA developed an electrolytic silver iodizer to purify drinking water for astronauts. The technology is now widely used to kill bacteria in swimming pools.
Dust Buster/Dust Cleaner
NASA needed a lightweight instrument to collect samples from the lunar surface. They commissioned Black & Decker to build such a device. In 1979, the company made a dust buster using its own invented technology. Currently, this machine is used all over the world for cleaning dust.
Wireless headphones
NASA is one of the organizations behind the incredible development of communication technology. To prevent the hands and feet of astronauts from getting tangled in wires, they invented wireless headphones. And today we listen to music constantly using wireless headphones.
Computer mouse
A NASA researcher was working on how to make computers more interactive. It was the 1960s. Mouse was later invented by using the data of his research.
Freeze-dried food
Astronaut food has been a major source of concern for scientists since the beginning. Because the atmosphere of space is not like that of Earth. It is very difficult to preserve food in this environment. Apart from that, the food we eat in the world is also expensive to send there. NASA has done extensive research on this problem. As a result, they developed the technology to turn any food into dry food by freezing. In this technology, the nutritional quality of food was maintained at 98 percent. But weight loss was only 20 percent.
