Commercial Space Activities Assessment Process

NESDIS seeks efficient solutions to address NOAA’s need to measure key environmental phenomena from space. To meet these needs, NOAA integrates international, intergovernmental, and commercial capabilities, when practical, with NOAA’s own satellites into its global satellite observing system. Commercial space services is one emerging sector offering potential solutions to achieving increasing portions of NOAA’s required measurements. NPR 8010.01A outlines the process NESDIS will follow to implement the NOAA Commercial Space Policy (“NOAA Policy”). The purpose of NPR 8010.01A is to establish a process by which NESDIS will assess and pursue commercial opportunities to support NOAA’s space-based observational information requirements. 2017 NESDIS (National Environmental Satellite, Data, and Information Service) Weather Act (Weather Research & Forecasting Innovation Act) Submitted https://doi.org/10.25923/bmng-y510 Public Domain 2286
