NASA evacuates Spain wildfire site
Large wildfires in Europe led NASA to evacuate one of its major space communication sites in Spain, impacting its ability to communicate with spacecraft. The Madrid Space Communications Complex is located about 65 kilometers west of Madrid, and all staff were evacuated after the fire passed through the facility. This complex is part of the Deep Space Network that connects NASA with its spacecraft in space. Support was transferred to other sites in California and Australia to ensure continuous space mission operations.
