Technology Development The Innovative Partnerships Program (IPP) at John C. Stennis Space Center (SSC) is responsible for research and development of new technologies, as well as the assessment, certification, and acquisition of technologies from the commercial, academic, and government sectors in order to improve safety, efficiency and the effectiveness of propulsion testing, earth science, and Stennis Space Center's institution. Each year, technology needs are identified at Stennis for potential projects. The SSC IPP utilizes several types of programs to develop or enhance technologies to meet specific NASA needs.
Technology Transfer At SSC, Technology Transfer is accomplished through the Innovative Partnership Program. Technology Transfer has always been an important part of the space program. The goal of Technology Transfer is to facilitate at the earliest opportunity the development of NASA mission-related technology through joint-development partnerships with industry, academia, and other Government agencies in order to reduce NASA’s technology life-cycle costs and to transfer NASA mission-related technology into the private sector to maximize the return on NASA technology investment for the benefit of the U.S. taxpayer. From aeronautics to medical technology, from communications to information technology, from sensors to environmental monitoring, NASA transfers cutting-edge technology that creates a more secure world and improves the quality of life at home. Intellectual Property Management is one of the functions of the IPP. The Intellectual Property Manager is responsible for the identification and documentation of innovations and technologies developed during the activities of fulfilling the NASA mission. The Intellectual Property Manager also has responsibility for licensing of technologies that are the property of NASA Stennis. The Technology Transfer responsibilities of the Intellectual Property Manager are:
