`

The Netherlands Space Office (NSO) is the space agency of the Netherlands. We use space to enhance national resilience, advance societal applications of satellite data, drive scientific progress, inspire the next generation, and foster sustainable economic growth.

Acting on behalf of the Dutch government, we represent the Netherlands in international space cooperation, including within the European Space Agency, and connect national expertise with global partners. We coordinate national space activities, provide strategic advice on space policy, and support innovation, technology development, and applications that address both national and global challenges.

NSO operates under the authority of, and in close cooperation with, the Ministry of Economic Affairs, the Ministry of Education, Culture and Science, and the Ministry of Infrastructure and Water Management.
