Welcome to the pages that allow SEC to communicate with vendors and potential
vendors about policies and opportunities in space weather services.
See Vendor list on Commercial Space Weather Service
Providers
Because SEC is not able to provide all the services that our users want,
we are anxious to work with value-added vendors who will use our
data and products to develop commercially available products. This goal
is strongly supported by the NOAA directives to work with the private sector
and make government resources available to the public.
SEC holds annual meetings with vendors and urges vendors to attend Space
Weather Week so as to talk to end users, researchers and other vendors,
each of which may foster customer opportunities.
- Space Weather Week
SEC's Annual Conference pages give you information about previous conferences
and the upcoming SWW.
- Policies on Information Dissemination
SEC's Information Dissemination Policies were reviewed and updated in April
2001.
- SEC Policy for Improving Customer Service
by Fostering a Vendor Industry
The conference in May 2000 held a vendor meeting on Wed. night, May 3. Most
of the discussion focused on the formation of a vendor association. A Policy
for Fostering a Space Weather Industry was outlined by Barbara Poppe.
