15 Daily Inventions Derived From Lunar Landing Technology

1. computer X ray axial tomography scanner: also known as CAT scanner, originally used to detect flaws in space components, is now widely used in hospital diagnosis of cancer.

2. computer microchip: originated from the integrated circuit used in Apollo navigation computer, and the improved modern micro chip has now become the most important core of computer and almost all electronic products.

3. wireless / cordless tools: cordless vacuum cleaners sold in supermarkets, and cordless drilling machines commonly used in construction sites. These cordless tools without wires require great convenience for our production and life. Cordless / wireless tools were originally invented to facilitate samples mining on the moon without electricity.

4. ear electronic thermometer: a friend who has a baby at home must be familiar with this ear thermometer. It can detect infrared energy through a camera lens device, and can detect temperature in 32 seconds. Babies and children are easy to use and safe.

The technology was originally used to monitor the birth of stars in space.

5. freeze-dried food: this quick freezing, vacuum ice like dehydrated food preserves the original color, aroma, taste, nutrition and the appearance of the original material, and at the same time, it can effectively reduce the weight of food, extend the shelf life and have good rehydration. It was originally prepared for astronauts' long-distance travel, and now on the supermarket shelf, it is presented with natural health food posture.

6. building insulation materials: reflective materials used to improve the insulation capacity of buildings can effectively reflect sunlight and reduce heat entering walls through walls.

The material was originally prepared for spacecraft to protect spacecraft from space radiation.

7. invisible tooth Hoop: the hoop used to correct the teeth is really a nuisance. For the sake of future beauty, it has to endure months of ugly and embarrassment.

Thanks to the pparent pottery hoop made of spacecraft materials, it brings gospel to those who love beauty.

8. game joysticks: friends who have played video games must not be strange about this? The technology necessary for playing games is originated from the lunar exploration remote control robot in the Apollo plan remote lunar rover.

This is a dedicated driverless car that travels on the lunar surface and inspects and collects samples for the moon. It is controlled remotely through a remote controller similar to a joystick.

9. memory sponge: the magic memory sponge is made up of slow springback polyurethane foam, originally invented by NASA to relieve the tremendous gravity pressure borne by astronauts in space flight and to facilitate the soft landing of spacecraft on the moon.

Now it has become the most effective material to relieve the stress of the body under relaxation. It is widely used in home life and medical fields, such as health mattress, neck protection pillow and shock absorber safety helmet.

10. satellite TV: the satellite TV we often talk about is actually a television that receives the TV signal pmitted through the satellite, and the signal pmission technology that it used was originally invented to help the spacecraft modify the signal error in space, and get high-quality pictures and sounds.

11. anti scratch lenses: most of the glasses, camera lenses, helmets and so on used by us now use scratch proof lenses, and their ability to prevent scratching is more than 10 times higher than that of ordinary lenses.

You know, in fact, this anti scratch coating was originally used to protect the helmet helmet of astronauts.

12. sports shoes insole: we are more familiar with sports shoes elastic insoles, sports shoes company from the space shoes "stolen" design, effectively increase the elasticity and permeability of shoes, reduce the external force of exercise to the foot injury.

13. smoke detectors: today's smoke detectors commonly seen in the ceiling of hotel rooms, supermarkets and offices are also originally designed by NASA.

Although the purpose is the same, the adjustable smoke detector used in space is more precise, which can adjust the sensitivity to prevent false alarms.

Our daily use is actually its "simplified version".

14. Speedo Swimsuit: this year's Olympic Games will always be the new swimsuit designed by the international swimsuit brand Speedo.

And the so-called drag reduction design principle, called "the fastest swimsuit in the world", comes from NASA's technology to reduce air resistance.

15. water purifier: people in the past did not require high cleanliness of water quality, while astronauts in space were different. NASA's pioneering technology could effectively kill bacteria in the water carried into space.

Now, this technology is used in household water purifiers to bring more health to people.
