Past inductees have included energy-saving technologies, satellite and telecommunication technologies, practical commercial devices and health improvement technologies, including LASIK eye surgery, implantable pacemakers and hearing aids and many other devices that improve the quality of life for millions of people every day.

The induction ceremony takes place on April 6 in Colorado Springs, as the culminating event of the 33rd Space Symposium, a three-day conference attended by over 11,000 space leaders from around the world. The Space Technology Hall of Fame Dinner honoring the 2017 inductees will be co-sponsored by SpaceX, a space exploration company founded in 2002 by Elon Musk.

ActivePure Radiant Catalytic Ionization (RCI) Technology was initially developed by NASA scientists to eliminate ethylene gas onboard the International Space Station and has been adapted and enhanced by Aerus to benefit people all around the world.

Beyond by Aerus' ActivePure Technology has been tested in both university and laboratory environments, and also been used in numerous commercial and industrial settings that face particular high-risk issues.
