The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is a governmental organization responsible for protecting human health and the environment. While not directly involved in space technology development, the EPA plays a regulatory role concerning the environmental impact of the aerospace manufacturing sector, including setting emission standards and managing pollution from rocket launches and related activities. They regulate sources of greenhouse gas emissions, distinguishing between mobile and stationary sources, and ensure compliance with environmental targets. The EPA also collaborates with other agencies like the FAA and NASA to address environmental concerns within the space industry.
