The American Meteorological Society (AMS) is a scientific and professional organization that promotes the atmospheric, oceanic, hydrologic sciences. While not a direct manufacturer or launch provider, AMS plays a role in the space industry by addressing space weather and its impact on satellite navigation, communication, and other space-based technologies. They achieve this through publishing reports, organizing workshops, and issuing policy statements related to space weather and its effects on various sectors, including aviation and power grids. The AMS partners with organizations like NOAA and NASA in these efforts.
