SATOP Engineering Solutions Program Available to CNY Businesses – For Free!

As many of you know, last year, with the help of Congressman James T. Walsh, NASA established the New York Space Alliance Technology Outreach Program (SATOP) office in Syracuse. Because of our history of providing technology-related services to manufacturers, the TDO has been asked to provide outreach services on behalf of SATOP to businesses in Central New York.

SATOP’s mission is to provide engineering assistance and speed the transfer of U.S. Space Program technology to the private sector to spur economic growth. It does so by providing up to 40 hours of free technical assistance to small businesses, helping them solve their technical challenges and increase their odds of succeeding. The program is available to any US-based small business (up to 500 employees), non-profit group, inventor, or entrepreneur. You do not need to be a high-tech, manufacturer, or aerospace company to use SATOP services.

The program utilizes the vast technical resources of U.S. Space Program participants and contractors, NASA centers, universities and colleges. Professionals within these participating organizations, called Alliance Partners (i.e. Boeing, Lockheed Martin, Eastman Kodak, etc.), volunteer their time and expertise in solving the challenges brought by small businesses.
