The Office of Applied Sciences identifies potential applications of the Sciences and Exploration Directorate's discoveries, scientific observations, data analyses, and technology that could benefit other government agencies, industry, and the public. The Office works with directorate scientists to identify scientific activities that may have potential use, and with external organizations to explore need, feasibility, and benefits. Where potential applications exist, the Office works with directorate scientists and engineers and with the potential users to prototype and demonstrates the concept, evaluate the results, and support the transfer to operational use.
