The Space Foundation, in cooperation with NASA, established the Space Technology Hall of Fame to increase public awareness of the benefits that result from space exploration programs and encourage further innovation. Since 1988, the Space Technology Hall of Fame has honored 56 technologies as well as the innovating organizations and individuals. Nominations for 2008 will be accepted until October 19, 2007.
Any individual or organization may submit a nomination for a technology that originated with the space program and is now used to improve life on Earth. Each nomination is reviewed for completeness, assessed by technical experts, and ranked by a prestigious panel of judges according to Economic Benefit, Public Awareness, Societal Benefit, Longevity, and Public/ Private/ Partnership Investment.
Technologies and innovators selected for induction in 2008 will be recognized during special award ceremonies during the 24th National Space Symposium. Conducted by the Space Foundation, the symposium is the premier annual gathering of the global space community. The 24th National Space Symposium will take place April 7 - 10, 2008, at The Broadmoor Hotel in Colorado Springs, Colo.
