About the Outlast Technology by NASA
According to NASA’s website, the outlast technology was developed in the 1980s, while the space agency’s Johnson Space Center in Houston sought ways to improve the insulation of spacesuit gloves. In collaboration with Triangle Research and Development Corporation, the US-based center explored phase-change materials, which maintain a steady temperature while changing phases from solid to liquid or vice versa.
They were successfully “able to demonstrate the effectiveness of a temperature-stabilizing fabric insert for a spacesuit glove.” However, the technology never went to space. Now, a textile marketer named Louise Nicholson, who wanted to help people stay comfortable during menopause, will be using Outlast.
Louise Nicholson will utilize Outlast for her endeavor to assist women in dealing with menopausal symptoms. She did a lot of preliminary research to find out what was available in terms of clothing. And all she found was nightwear, according to her statement. She considered previous possibilities insufficient until she discovered a substance created with NASA funds.
