Describes the public technical work of the UN Office for Outer Space Affairs: UN-SPIDER for space-based information in disaster management, the Register of Objects Launched into Outer Space, the Guidelines for the Long-term Sustainability of Outer Space Activities and the treaty framework, with the International Charter Space and Major Disasters, CEOS and GEO as named peers, and what Nexus Earth-observation and space-object profiles could contribute. A section of the Space and Earth Observation subsite. Every artifact of the area carries a UNI (Unique Nexus Identifier), which identifies and never certifies.

Jurisdictions No jurisdiction note is recorded for this area yet; jurisdiction narrows what applies and never implies that a Nexus profile satisfies a law.
Each coupling names the mechanism that links this area to another; select a card on the canvas to trace it. Mechanisms are stated in the context bank (PROPOSED).
Fig.RUNNING marks the area you are reading; DONE an area in the same subsite, QUEUED an area elsewhere and GATE a subsite reached. Tags give reading order only, never a status. Design, not a record.
Relations are register entries (NS-14), never conformance or equivalence statements; hover or focus a relation for its meaning. Names of standards bodies and their standards belong to their stewards and are used only to identify the documents; no text of an external standard is reproduced here.
Indicator names and codes as their stewards publish them; values appear only from a governed GRIx source, never typed into a page.
Sources the area reads or proposes. Delivery follows GRIx first; a source is shown live only after an owner decision admits it for public pages.
No legal register row admits any of these sources for live display on public pages yet, so nothing is read from them here. A register row that exists records the source for the governed GRIx path; admission for public pages is a separate owner decision.

The Nexus Standards the area context entry lists. Every one is proposed or specified; none is adopted by an authority.
GCRI Canada decides under its own evidence rules whether EO-derived and space records are usable; describing UNOOSA's work is not acceptance.
The Global Risks Forum (GRF) decides under its own rules how space work features in its programmes; this section implies no recognition.
The Global Risks Alliance (GRA) decides capital readiness under its own criteria; EO records only inform its reviewers.
Each institution decides under its own rules what it reads as evidence; no pathway is an approval, a readiness statement or investment advice.
Version and feed state per standard; every row reads source feed pending admission until a register row admits a feed.
Today · in your browserPick a sector, hazard family, capability and artifact type; the registry routes the standards and says why.
A console computes from the registry and shows its reasons; it never decides, approves or certifies.
Describe UNOOSA's public technical work accurately and develop EO-for-disaster and space-object record profiles.
No working group is chartered yet; a community may charter this one under NS-13 through a docket.
Closed or paywalled standards appear by name and link only; any compatibility profile of one is built on simulated data and kept on protected pages until an institutional arrangement with the issuing body is recorded. Nexus Standards is not affiliated with, endorsed by or certified by any standards body named here.
The working group may name closed standards later; they would be listed here by name and link only.

No sector is listed for this area; it serves every sector through the areas it couples with.
Peer-reviewed sources and published statistics on the publishers' own domains, as the context entry cites them. No Risk Academy faculty pathway is linked to this area yet; one is linked when a faculty publishes a pathway that fits.
Risk Academy disciplines that teach UNOOSA and space, with their courses; the GCRI Canada, The Global Risks Forum (GRF) and The Global Risks Alliance (GRA) subsites that carry those disciplines; and the Nexus Foundry systems the standards name. Mappings are proposed for review (Risk Academy standards map, 2026-10-17); a link says a page on the same subject exists, never an endorsement or a conformance statement; framework names in course titles are named and linked, never reproduced.
Propose a change, join the working group or name a source. Area entries are PROPOSED content for the Nexus Standards registry; a UNI identifies and never certifies, and nothing on this site is a certification, an approval or a readiness statement.
