Cross sections and rate coefficients for the Dissociative Recombination (DR) of the NS+ ion induced by collisions with low-energy electrons are reported for temperatures between 10 and 1000 K, relevant to a large range of interstellar cloud temperatures. Uncertainties are discussed for these rates. Comparisons are made with DR rates for the isovalent NO+ molecular ion which are found to be much faster. The present findings lead to a moderate dissociative reaction rate coefficient, smaller by a factor of 2 than the current estimates reported in the different kinetic databases for a temperature of 10 K. We consider that our rate coefficients obtained through multichannel quantum defect theory for NS+ are likely to be better than those displayed in the different kinetic databases.
