?? Het kabinet heeft vandaag een reactie op de langetermijn-ruimtevaartagenda (LTR) naar de Tweede Kamer der Staten-Generaal gestuurd.?Waar we eerder alleen een visie voor drie jaar hadden, is er nu een horizon voor de komende tien tot vijftien jaar die het kabinet ondersteunt. Een belangrijk moment, die het belang van ruimtevaart voor onze toekomst onderschrijft. ??? Satellieten maken veilige communicatie tussen hulpdiensten mogelijk, voorspellen bosbranden en houden onze dijken vanuit de ruimte in de gaten om overstromingen tijdig te signaleren. Deze technologie ondersteunt niet alleen een veilige leefomgeving en effectieve strijd tegen klimaatverandering, maar versterkt ook de Nederlandse economie, cre?ert banen en opent de deur naar nieuwe innovaties. ?? “Zonder dat we het doorhebben, vertrouwen we elke dag op onmisbare technologie?n die vanuit de ruimte worden aangestuurd. Investeren in ruimtevaart is daarom geen luxe, maar noodzakelijk voor een sterke economie, onze veiligheid en een toekomstbestendige samenleving. Het is een historisch moment dat het kabinet dat in deze reactie erkent.” - Harm van de Wetering, Directeur NSO In een Q&A geeft NSO-directeur Harm van de Wetering toelichting op het belang van deze mijlpaal en de kansen voor Nederland.

??NL Space Lift-Off 2025: A Promising Year for the Dutch Space Sector?? Today, the Dutch space sector gathered at Space Expo on NL Space Campus in Noordwijk to kick off an ambitious year ahead. One year ago, the Long-Term Space Agenda was presented to the Minister of Economic Affairs and Climate, outlining key goals for the sector. Now, as we step into 2025, the focus shifts to execution. Harm van de Wetering van de Wetering, Director of NSO - Netherlands Space Office emphasized the importance of this moment: “This is a very important space year for the Netherlands, for ESA, and for the European Space Programme. Over the coming months, discussions with the new cabinet and parliament will shape the Long-Term Space Agenda’s direction and ambition. At the end of the year, ESA’s Ministerial Conference will define the ESA agenda for the coming years, and the EU will also make key decisions on the European space programme.” The evening’s speakers offered a glimpse into what’s ahead: ? Jeroen Rotteveel Rotteveel, Chairman of SpaceNed shared updates on the Amsterdam Space Symposium 2026, a major Dutch industry event set to drive international collaboration. ? Philip Thomas, Head of ESA’s ScaleUp Programme Division, introduced ESA Phi-Lab Netherlands, aimed at accelerating the commercialisation of promising space research. ? Philippe Schoonejans, Interim Director of Space-Expo Noordwijk and Meindert Stolk from Provincie Zuid-Holland , presented the European Robotic Arm (ERA) exhibition, showcasing Europe’s role in space robotics. ? Two exciting projects were also highlighted: SatInsight TechHub by Groundstation.Space and the Space Simulator by Stellar Space Industries Space. Want to stay informed on these developments?

?? Afgelopen weekend vond de CASSINI Hackathon plaats in de Dutch Innovation Factory in Zoetermeer. Deelnemers dachten met behulp van ruimtevaarttechnologie na over slimme oplossingen voor grote veiligheids- en defensie-uitdagingen. ??? Op vrijdag trapte Alexandra Dousi- De Vogel van NSO - Netherlands Space Office af met een introductie over Nederland als ruimtevaartland en inspireerde de deelnemers: "De ruimtevaart biedt enorme mogelijkheden, maar het is aan jullie om die te vertalen naar concrete oplossingen." ?? Zondag zat Kees Oude Lenferink van NSO in de jury en reflecteerde op het weekend: “De combinatie van technologie en de frisse idee?n van deze jonge talenten laat zien hoe innovaties vanuit de ruimtevaart bij kunnen dragen aan een veiliger en slimmer Europa. Het is indrukwekkend wat hier in korte tijd is neergezet.” Dank aan de organisatoren Groundstation.Space, Royal HaskoningDHV en alle partners: De Haagse Hogeschool / The Hague University of Applied Sciences, Dutch Innovation Factory, NL Space Campus, Security Delta (HSD), Unmanned Valley, Hogeschool Utrecht, OPT/NET BV, Gemeente Zoetermeer en Provincie Zuid-Holland.
