\n Back in April, in the heart of the coronavirus pandemic, NASA stepped up to help by developing a ventilator specifically designed for COVID-19 patients. The device was nicknamed VITAL (short for Ventilator Intervention Technology<\/a> Accessible Locally) and it was meant to be a low-cost, easy-to-build piece of life-saving medical hardware. Now, as the pandemic continues to rage on, the space agency has announced the companies that have been chosen to manufacture the VITAL ventilators.<\/p>\n

In a new blog post, NASA reveals that over 100 companies submitted app<\/a>lications to be chosen as manufacturers for VITAL. After narrowing down the dozens of options, the Office of Technology and Corporate Partnerships at Caltech, which manages NASA\u2019s Jet Propulsion Laboratory and holds the patents on VITAL, selected a total of eight companies as manufacturing partners.<\/p>\n

These are the companies that made the cut, per NASA:<\/p>\n
