Testimonials ​Space Studies Program

Joana Carvalho Afonso (SSP18)

​" "We’re all citizens of planet Earth” was a beautiful
sentence shared to ignite reflection amongst ourselves
and foster team work. I understood it as a natural path
​to build the future(s) together."
Benjamin Brenny (SSP18)
​
"SSP has given me a better understanding of the different parts
of the Space industry, both in terms of technologies and players.
can now put into context the expertise and role that TNO has, with respect to our partners, and how we all fit into the big picture.

My new knowledge of the organizational and technological aspects
of an entire mission is very helpful, even when you are involved with
​a small specific part. ​The new network I have gained is also very valuable, ​to discuss ideas and new collaborations."
