NASA uses RFID Systems
February 23, 2011
NASA has recently found use in RFID readers. According to RFID news, they have installed systems at Langley Research Center in Virginia, designed and deployed by DataSpan Inc.
This will be used for inventory of “critical data center assets like servers, switches, racks, and other associated equipment”. This will also help manage the movement of laboratory and testing equipment.
More specifically and more recently, the NASA’s Johnson Space Center announced it’s purchase of RFID readers for International Space Station. The ACC570 handheld was selected according to spaceref.com. “Other items that will be tagged include astronauts and crew’s personal items, office supplies, food packages and medical supplies.”
Now that NASA has adapted to RFID, what’s next?
