Space Environment Technologies has partnered with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administrations Space Environment Center (NOAA/SEC) through a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA). Officially signed May 2, 2000, the CRADA provides the vehicle for NOAA/SEC and Space Environment Technologies to develop real-time and forecast space weather services for both the public and private sectors.

Space Environment Technologies has a long-standing collaboration with the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) Ionospheric and Atmospheric Remote Sensing Group to jointly develop near real-time global, regional, and local ionospheric parameters.

Space Environment Technologies has a long-standing relationship with the Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics (LASP) at the University of Colorado (CU) for supporting the mission objectives of scientific instruments on the Galileo, UARS, TIMED, and SDO spacecraft.

Space Environment Technologies (SET) has contractual relations with NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center and Marshall Space Flight Center through the Living With a Star (LWS) program. Hampton University (a HBCU-designated university) and a.i. solutions (providing state-of-the-art software products and engineering solutions for the aerospace industry) have subcontractual relations with SET through these programs. SET also works closely with Omitron Corporation, Lockheed Martin Mission Systems, and USAF organizations in the development of improved satellite orbit determination algorithms. SET's Chief Scientist is the U.S. Lead Delegate to the International Standards Organization (ISO) TC20/SC14/WG4 which is the working group charged with developing international standards for the space environment. SET scientific personnel are active and leading members in the professional organizations of AIAA, AGU, and COSPAR.
