De ESA-landen zijn ook de belangrijkste satellietenbouwers. Deze bedrijven helpen bij het ontwerpen, bouwen, testen en lanceren van satellieten en helpen onze levens op aarde veel beter te maken. Europese satellieten worden elke dag door miljoenen mensen gebruikt. Ze laten ons zien wat het weer wordt, hoe het land wordt gebruikt en hoe we onze weg moeten vinden. We gebruiken ze ook voor telefoons en astronomie.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\" data-width=\"2200\" data-credit=\"ESA\" data-detail-url=\"https:\/\/www.esa.int\/ESA_Multimedia\/Images\/2013\/02\/ESA_Member_States_and_Cooperating_States\" data-licence=\"ESA Standard Licence\" data-licence-url=\"https:\/\/www.esa.int\/ESA_Multimedia\/Terms_and_conditions_of_use_of_images_and_videos_available_on_the_esa_website\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"max-width:100%;height:auto\" src=\"https:\/\/www.esa.int\/var\/esa\/storage\/images\/esa_multimedia\/images\/2013\/02\/esa_member_states_and_cooperating_states\/12526980-19-eng-GB\/ESA_Member_States_and_Cooperating_States.jpg\" alt=\"ESA Member States and Cooperating States\"><\/figure>\n<p>ESA has 22 Member States, marked in dark grey.
