#RuimtevaartMaaktMogelijk

Dagelijks zijn wij afhankelijk van gegevens, datastromingen en metingen van satellieten in de ruimte. Bijvoorbeeld om te kunnen navigeren op de fiets en in de auto, om onze treinen, metro’s en trams te laten rijden en voor onze landbouw en onze veiligheid. Ook om te kunnen pinnen en om collega’s, vrienden of familie te kunnen bellen vertrouwen we dagelijks op satellieten. Nederlandse expertise en technologie wordt daar wereldwijd voor ingezet. Dat is goed voor onze innovatie en concurrentiekracht en onmisbaar voor het functioneren van ons dagelijks werken en leven. Dit filmpje laat zien waarom ruimtevaart nuttig en noodzakelijk is, want #RuimtevaartMaaktMogelijk.

Text English: Every day we depend on satellite data and measurements made by satellites in space. When navigating in your car or on your bike for example, or for our public transportation, our agriculture or our safety, satellite data is being used. Withdrawing cash or paying by card would not be possible without satellites and neither would calling your friends, family or colleagues. Dutch expertise and technology is world class, thus generating innovation in the Netherlands and strengthening our competitiveness while guaranteeing the continuation of our day to day lives as we know it. This video shows why space flight is not only useful but essential. Space flight enables our society. #RuimtevaartMaaktMogelijk
