NASA Finds Down-to-Earth Savings

Not only could the electronic publishing and print-on-demand system store documents digitally, it let people revise them at will, using the system's editing features. For an Agency accustomed to subjecting its work products to constant revision and refinement, this capability proved invaluable.

For example, the manuals that NASA's astronauts routinely take along on their missions are living, dynamic documents that change all the time, since NASA learns new things from every mission. Now NASA can update them electronically, directly through the DocuTech.
