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.
