NASA is known for its break through technology in aeronautics and space, but few people realize how important NASA research has been in advancing medical technologies. Although this research rarely specifically attempts to develop these medical technologies, many of its discoveries are “spun-off” and used in the creation of new medical devices. One of the latest inventions that has benefited from research done at NASA is something Called ARTEMIS. This new device has the potential to make some surgeries much safer and will help to save lives.
