∙ 13y ago5 commonly used items that were originally designed for use in space are such things as:
Cordless Tools
Portable and self-contained power tools. Originally developed for astronauts on the Apollo missions to allow them to drill for moon samples. This technology has lead to development of such tools as the cordless vacuum cleaners and power drills
Smoke Detectors
First used in the Earth orbiting space station called Skylab. It help detect any toxic vapors. Now in common use in most homes and business.
Medical Imaging
NASA developed ways to process signals from spacecraft to produce clearer images. This technology also makes it possible to take photo like images of our insides.
TV Satellite Dish
NASA developed ways to correct errors in the signals coming from there spacecraft. This technology is used to reduce interference in TV signals coming from satellites.
Digital Thermometer
Instead of measuring temperature using a column of Mercury, digital thermometers have a lens that detects infrared energy, which we feel as heat. The warmer something is the more infrared energy it puts out. This technology was originally developed to detect the birth of stars.
Also GPS was invented

Many things have been achieved by man in space technology. Some of the things include man has been on the moon, invention of rockets and discovery of celestial structures.
Some space technology spinoffs that can be used in a school include: water purification systems that are based on technology originally developed for space missions, 3D printing technology to create models and prototypes, and software applications to engage students in simulations and data analysis similar to those used by astronauts.
The Saturn rocket.
Solar panels is one.
