The mission of the Consortium of Organizations for Strong-Motion Observation Systems (COSMOS) is to expand and modernize significantly the acquisition and application of strong-motion data in order to increase public safety from earthquakes.

One of the major objectives of COSMOS is to promote the advancement of strong-motion measurement in densely urbanized areas and other locations of special significance to a society likely to be struck by future earthquakes.

Membership in COSMOS is open to all agencies, organizations, private companies and consultants, professional institutions, professional societies, and universities.
