The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), a non-regulatory agency within the U.S. Department of Commerce, plays a crucial role in the space industry through its development of standards, measurements, and technologies. NIST collaborates with agencies like NASA and NOAA to improve the radiometric calibration of sensors on Earth-observing satellites and supports cybersecurity efforts. It contributes to space-based remote sensing, provides expertise in measurement for the cosmos, and fosters innovation in the space sector by hosting events exploring the circular space economy.
