NSO (Netherlands Space Office)

Space technology and satellite data are essential for tackling global challenges such as climate change, air quality, navigation, and communication. Their broad applications create opportunities to make life on Earth safer, more sustainable, and prosperous. Through its space policy, the Netherlands—executed by NSO—aims to harness these opportunities and remain at the forefront of space innovation.

The Netherlands Space Office (NSO) is the governmental Space Agency of the Netherlands. NSO's task is to advise upon and realize the national space policy. The space policy of the Netherlands focuses on the added value of space on science, economy, environment and society, and in particular the development of ground-breaking space technologies, and services based on satellite data.
