CT & I's mission is to document and present in context the inventions and industrial innovations of New York's Southern Tier.

Upstate New York has a heritage  that continues today of creative technology enterprises, whose guidance systems, computers, flight simulators, cameras, and high-speed film helped the US win the race to the moon.

Ed White uses Anscochrome 200 on his Gemini IV EVA, a mission supported by flight simulators from Link Aviation Devices, avionics from General Electric-Westover, Johnson City, NY, and IBM-Owego, whose guidance computer was the first use of silicon transistors in space, as well as the first use of a digital computer in space to change a spacecraft's orbit.
