NAPEOS, the NAvigation Package for Earth Observation Satellites, is a state of the art software system for GNSS data processing providing results with a very accuracy.

NAPEOS is developed and maintained by the European Space Operations Centre (ESOC) of the European Space Agency (ESA). The NAPEOS developments started around 1995. In 2003 the GNSS capabilties started to be added a project that was finished in 2007. After significant testing the navigation support office at ESOC (OPS-GN) started to use the NAPEOS software in January 2008 for all its IGS activities. 

A significant number of companies and individuals have been involved in the development of the NAPEOS software. Of course the major part of the GNSS work has been done at the navigation support office (OPS-GN) at ESOC with a special mentioning for the company GMV. GMV has been responsible for major parts of the actual programming of the NAPEOS source code. 

At OPS-GN, in ESOC, NAPEOS supports all the activities in the International GNSS Service (IGS), the International DORIS Service (IDS), the International Laser Ranging Service (ILRS), and other international scientific communities. NAPEOS is also used for the routine precise orbit determination (POD) of several LEO missions, e.g., the ESA ENVISAT mission. 

NAPEOS allows fully automated, robust, and reliable GNSS processing at very high accuracy levels with processing efficiency.

Commercial services using NAPEOS are proposed by the company PosiTim.

Aerospace Propulsion Products B.V. (APP) is a Dutch company providing igniters for launcher engines.

APP develops and produces igniters for the engines of the space launchers Ariane 5 and VEGA. APP has facilities and dedicated equipment for production and testing of solid propellant grains, HNF (hydrazinium nitroformate) and for the assembly of gas generators. APP has temperature and humidity controlled rooms for propellant mixing, casting and curing. Such facilities are also available for assembly of gas generators. A pilot plant for the production of HNF is available, producing HNF both for research purposes but also on a commercial basis. In January 2008, APP has opened a second production facility dedicated to the production of cool gas generators.

It is a joint venture of Stork and TNO.

The Netherlands Space Office (NSO) acts as the Dutch agency for space affairs.

The NSO was established by the Dutch government in order to develop the Netherlands' space programme and to bring that programme to action. The NSO is the face of the Dutch space community for international space organisations like ESA, NASA and JAXA as well as the central point of contact for the space community within the Netherlands. The NSO also works to innovatively and openly bring the story of spaceflight science, usage and exploration to teachers, students and the general public.

The European Union Satellite Centre (EUSC), commonly known as SATCEN, is an agency of the European Union's Council of Ministers which gathers information through satellite images. 

The mission of the European Union Satellite Centre (EU SatCen) is to support the decision-making of the European Union by providing analysis of satellite imagery and collateral data. The staff of the centre consists of experienced image analysts, geospatial specialists and supporting personnel from EU member countries. The centre is located in Torrejón de Ardoz, in the vicinity of Madrid, Spain.

EUSC was set up in 2002 to replace the Western European Union Satellite Centre and thus represents a part of the transfer of functions from the Western European Union (WEU) to the European Union (EU), and more specifically to the Common Foreign and Security Policy (CFSP).
