The white spheres are actually inflatable balloons made of Kevlar and are meant to protect the satellites. Kevlar consists of arimids, fibers that form a group of polymers. This makes the spheres heat-resistant and ensures they have high tensile strength. Kevlar is also used in bulletproof vests, among other things. Want to know more?

The NATO Satcom Site in Leerbeek, located on the Kesterheide heath, is one of the largest NATO communications centers in Europe. The base has undergone an upgrade over the past four years, with the familiar white sphere receiving three additional spheres and an upgrade itself. This upgrade was necessary to make the new NATO base one of the largest communications centers in Europe. The total cost of this upgrade was 15 million euros. Only four other locations in Europe still have such a base: in Italy, Turkey, and Greece. The base in Leerbeek and the one in Verona, Italy, are the largest, each with four spheres. The white spheres are actually inflatable Kevlar balloons that protect the satellites.

At the marina club, you can enjoy a drink and a small snack, spaghetti, croque monsieur, and more. There's a very pleasant terrace overlooking the canal and the passing boats. Order at the bar with Koen, the owner. Payment can be made in cash or by card.
