Space and scientific instrumentation
Earth observation satellites are vital tools for monitoring our planet's atmosphere, land and water. TNO develops satellite instruments and air-quality and greenhouse-gas downstream models that enable a targeted approach for reducing global emissions.
Pioneering space innovation
From pioneering climate research and satellites for observation systems to non-invasive medical research, chip manufacturing and satellite communications.
