In 2015, Norway and the Netherlands signed a cooperation agreement on strategic military research collaboration called SMART, “Strategic Mutual Assistance in Research and Technology”.
The purpose of the collaboration is to obtain broad knowledge about current and future space-related techniques, technology and concepts.
A result of this collaboration is the two nanosatellites currently being developed. The term “nano” simply refers to the fact that they weigh less than 10 kilos.
Noorwegen and the Netherlands are doing this to ensure strategic autonomy by developing and owning its own constellation of satellites, while also reducing its dependency on communication, navigation, observation, and intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) capabilities supplied by its strategic and commercial partners.
In the Defensie Ruimte Agenda you can find more information about the Netherlands defence developments in space.

Norway and the Netherlands share new twin satellites
Norway and the Netherlands will soon be in space with the twin satellites Huygens and Birkeland. The satellites have been developed and built through a collaboration between FFI and two Dutch research institutes (NLR and TNO), financed by the Dutch and Norwegian ministries of defence.

Defensie Ruimte Agenda (Ned en Eng)
De Defensie Ruimte Agenda (DRA) beschrijft hoe Defensie zich de komende jaren wil ontwikkelen in het ruimtedomein. Ook de afhankelijkheid hiervan en de dreigingen en ontwikkelingen op dit gebied worden in het document omschreven. De publicatie is ook beschikbaar in het Engels.
