But as the storied—and controversial—shuttle program comes to an end, we thought we’d review how the space shuttles’ development and use for space flights have contributed to your everyday life.

Kodak built the first digital camera in 1975, but NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory engineers developed the concept in the late 1960s. And in the 1990s, NASA scientists created more sensitive CMOS chips for improved low-light, deep-space photography. The commercial spin-off: Nearly one-third of all cell phone cameras and many webcams now use that NASA-developed CMOS technology. NASA-grown software code to improve digital image stabilization of shuttle launch videos is also now being used by the forensics departments of many law enforcement agencies, says NASA.
