About the Space Certification Program

Good Things from Space

Space technology touches and enhances practically every aspect of life on Earth. Much of what improves our lives - think healthcare, communications, travel, recreation, entertainment - benefits directly from technology originally developed for or improved for space exploration. Technologies developed to get us "out there" come home to improve life on Earth.

It's Everywhere. It's Big Business.

Many of the products and services that set the standard for comfort, convenience, and reliability use space technologies to improve the world in which we live. The Space Certification Program provides special recognition for the companies that produce and market these products and services.

Certified Products Enjoy a Competitive Advantage!

The Space Foundation, in cooperation with NASA, created the Space Certification Program to promote the extraordinary products and services that bring the benefits of space technology home to Earth and enhance public interest and awareness in Space.

An integral part of our mission, this exciting program highlights products in the Technology, Education and Entertainment categories.

Space certification is a valuable marketing credential for companies seeking to establish a distinctive identity and a competitive advantage. It is also a statement that speaks volumes to potential customers.

Products with the official certification seal prominently displayed also benefit from the ongoing marketing efforts of the Space Certification Program, the Space Foundation, and the synergy of millions of space messages delivered each year.
