NASA Technology locates 4 victims by heartbeats

A technology made by NASA and the US Department of Homeland Security have used the FINDER  (Finding individuals for disaster and Emergency Response) for the first time and saved four people by detecting their heartbeats. These four people are lucky to be saved from the 7.8 earthquake in Nepal which is located in between India and China. The FINDER is a radar machine that sends out microwave signal through the debris and is possible to detect a human's breathing or heartbeat. Not only that but it can tell if its movement from an animal. the radar machine is capable of detecting people under 20 feet of solid concrete or buried 30 feet beneath rubble. This radar machine is based on Remote Radar Sensing that NASA had originally made for finding life on other planets. The Radar Machine was sent to Nepal on April 29, four days after the Earthquake had hit. NASA has many other technologies that are helpful here on earth for example; Land mine removal techniques, firefighting gear, and water purification devices.

There is many other technologies NASA has made that will benefit our lives in many ways.

• Improved Radial Tires- ( helpful for lasting up to 10,000 more miles on the tires.)
• Highway Safety- ( The cutting of grooves in the concrete increases traction and is most likely to prevent injury or serious death)
