Netherlands a small country, so it means we have to focus it's a small country even with a very
high technology base and a century long experience in international trade. So, we only have one
company in the Netherlands that build satellites in IG space and they do CubeSat only. But
they're one of the first commercial companies that started to build CubeSat for the rest of it the
largest satellite that was ever built in the Netherlands. My recollection is Ons I was something like
150 launched decades. Since then, the Netherlands has been focusing on high reliability and
high-quality upstream components and downstream applications. Which means that we have
quite a good developed downstream base which can provide data products for any things from
die conditioning to water content, moisture crocodoring, atmospheric pollution, things like that are
universities like Barkerman University, university of Delft are better known internationally and
they have their own contacts in India and other countries. The commercial contacts are from
company, but from experience I know that in the Netherlands we focus on specific components
like solar panels, igniters, SAR sensors and high-quality spectrometers. Especially for these
spectrometers there are a number of marketable international corporations in the sense that first
is the ozone monitoring instrument.
