Space and scientific instrumentation
Space plays a crucial role in our daily lives, often without our realising it. Discover the ground-breaking research that we do on satellite communication, Earth observation, and more.
Space and scientific instrumentation
From pioneering climate research and satellites for observation systems to non-invasive medical research, chip manufacturing and satellite communications.
Our latest developments
TNO & partners bring deep-space communication a step closer
Could there ever be a space station on the moon? Or a shuttle to orbit around Mars? Perhaps. But only if there’s an effective communication system in place. Recently, TNO and its partners completed a project that will enable effective communication from a Lunar Gateway, an orbiter around Mars, or deep-space exploration missions. With the successful development of a breadboard optical communication terminal, TNO and its partners have brought the entire industry a significant step closer to its deep-space ambitions.

TNO is making a powerful contribution to the Thirty Meter Telescope (TMT).
TNO’s view of 2030: Getting a grip on climate change from space
Greenhouse gas emissions in the atmosphere are one of the main contributors to climate change and must therefore be rapidly reduced if we are to meet the 2030 climate targets. TNO is working on new satellite technology that makes it possible to do so. Because the better we identify emissions, the more targeted the action we can take.
