About Space Certification

The Space Foundation, in cooperation with NASA, developed this unique branding program to promote the extraordinary products and services that bring the benefits of space-related technology home to Earth and improve the quality of our lives.

This exciting program highlights products in Technology, Education and Entertainment. Companies earning certification distinction gain a competitive advantage in the marketplace. The billions of dollars invested by the world’s space
programs help form the marketing environment for products with this unique advantage. Products with the official certification seal prominently displayed also benefit from the ongoing marketing efforts of the Space Certification Program, the Space Foundation, and the synergy of millions of space messages delivered each year. The space
certification seal speaks volumes to potential customers.
