Founded in 1901, NIST is a non-regulatory federal agency within the U.S. Commerce Departments Technology Administration. NISTs mission is to develop and promote measurement, standards, and technology to enhance productivity, facilitate trade, and improve the quality of life. NIST carries out its mission in four cooperative programs: the NIST Laboratories, conducting research that advances the nations technology infrastructure and is needed by U.S. industry to continually improve products and services

The NASA Scientific and Technical Information (STI) Programs mission is to collect, archive, and disseminate NASA aerospace information, and locate domestic and international STI pertinent to NASAs missions and Strategic Enterprises. Examples of NASAs STI include research reports, journal articles, conference and meeting papers, technical videos, mission-related operational documents, and preliminary data. NASAs technical information is available via the NASA Technical Report Server (NTRS) is to provide students, educators, and the public access to NASAs technical literature. NTRS also collects scientific and technical information from sites external to NASA to broaden the scope of information available to users. NTRSs Simple Search searches for NASA information only and its Advanced Search can search for NASA and non-NASA information. Most of the NASA information does not have full-text document images and documents can be ordered by contacting the NASA Center for AeroSpace Information.
