Gerrit Hiemstra in NL Space movie

The Netherlands is one of the primary architects of space activities in Europe and has always played a leading international role in space science research. At Weather Impact we use space technology for our products and applications. Weather models, for example, use observations from weather satellites as input, especially in areas where traditional data sources are not available. Together with our partners we also use space technology to improve farming methods, by monitoring atmospheric and field conditions. To raise their profile and increase the visibility of their activities internationally, space companies and institutions in the Netherlands have joined together under the umbrella of NL Space. Recently, NL Space launched a short movie at the European Space Conference about their activities. Gerrit Hiemstra features in this movie and gives an example of the use of space technology by Weather Impact in Kenya.
