Drought in Southern Sahara

United Nations asks for help

Skylab acquires data of land layout

NASA engineers develop rapid-response computer program

MiniMed PumpDeveloped by Mini Med Technologies

External Pump

Replaces Insulin Injections for Diabetics

Based on miniature satellite component technology

Same foam NASA used on Space Shuttles external tank

Lighter weight

More affordableInformation from nasa.govSummaryDr. Maickes insight into why it is vital to continue NASA funding

Skylab helped nomadic people in the Southern Sahara

Satellite technology inspired better treatment for Diabetics

Lunar imaging was used to develop CAT Scans and MRI Technology
