Free, expert technical aid available to small businesses

By Billie Owens

Genesee County Chamber of Commerce renewed its partnership with the Space Alliance Technology Outreach Program (SATOP) last month and is looking for businesses in the area who need help!

If your small business is faced with a technical challenge, SATOP wants to help. It can provide up to 40 hours of FREE technical assistance for qualified requests, using the vast engineering expertise of NASA and participating Alliance Partners. SATOP is designed to speed the transfer of U.S. Space Program knowledge and technology to the private sector, to provide economic benefits to the community, and to raise public awareness of the Space Program.

Areas of expertise of SATOP include, but are not limited to: mechanical, manufacturing, industrial, materials, structural, facilities, chemical, electrical, electronics, and environmental engineering.
