How space technology protects our lives on the ground
In short: On June 14, 2014, the European Space Agency joined local demonstrations to showcase how orbital technology serves vital safety and security functions right here on Earth.
During the 5th Noordwijk Safety Day, ESA colleagues, Space Expo, and Miramap—an ESA business incubator spin-off—demonstrated the practical utility of space science. The presentation highlighted how space-related tools are essential for monitoring dike water tightness, managing disasters, and conducting climate change studies. Beyond Earth observation, the event explored the role of space technology in maritime rescue, navigation, and weather forecasting, as well as the safety protocols inherent in astronaut training.
