NASA Website Spotlights NASA@Home and City Developed by The Sutter Group

NASA has added to its Web site an interactive program that allows users to discover some of the many NASA technologies that positively impact everyday life. NASA Deputy Administrator Shana Dale unveiled NASA at Home and NASA City Tuesday in Denver.

NASA@Home and City, City Flash Navigation View

The interactive site takes users on an illustrated tour of the commercial technologies and products in their homes and cities that trace their origins to NASA’s investment in space and aeronautics research and development. NASA has documented more than 1,500 examples of how NASA technologies have been used for bettering life on Earth.


Visitors can scroll over technologies grouped by themes such as the home, airport, grocery store, sports arena, hospital, public safety, and manufacturing. After entering an area, users can read a short description of the technology to learn more about products such as temperature-regulated clothing from materials used in astronauts’ suits and gloves, wireless headset telephone technology pioneered to transmit the first words from the moon, fire-resistant paint and steel coatings from NASA’s heat shield technology, and remote-controlled ovens based on technology used aboard the International Space Station.


Users also can connect to NASA’s complete database of associated spinoff technologies from NASA at Home and NASA City.

The Sutter Group and John Daly Team Up to Transform Radio City Music Hall

Wheel of Fortune 25th Anniversary Gala

“We are excited to celebrate this important event in this magnificent city,” said Executive Producer Harry Friedman. “We wanted to commemorate this special occasion in a big way, and we couldn’t think of a better place to do it than in New York City.”

“Partnering with John Daly International on the Wheel of Fortune 25th Anniversary was a tremendous personal thrill, and a unique design challenge,” states Karen Sutter, President of The Sutter Group. “Turning the lobby of the historic Radio City Music Hall into a show-themed experience for 1,000 guests was one of our most entertaining projects ever.”

Celebrating the 25th anniversary of one of America’s favorite game shows was an event to behold at the one and only Radio City Music Hall in Manhattan, New York. From the moment the guests entered the two-story lobby of the famed theater, there was no mistake that the evening was all about Wheel of Fortune branding. Tables were designed with the wheel being used as all of the tops. The bars that were in permanent placement were customized with the Wheel game board. The food buffets were designed with customized square shelving to resemble the letter boards. Large banners hung from the ceiling covering the large expanse of wall heralding the Twenty Fifth Anniversary event. And as a just dessert, a spectacular custom cake was designed to resemble the famed wheel as well.
