NASA evacuates key Spanish facility
A evacuation operation was carried out at a NASA satellite communications facility in Spain due to large-scale wildfires in Europe, which impacted the agency's ability to communicate with its spacecraft. The Madrid Deep Space Communications Complex is located about 65 kilometers west of central Madrid, and potential damages were assessed after employees were safely evacuated. The complex is part of the Deep Space Network, enabling NASA to communicate with its spacecraft, with support also provided to the Canberra and Goldstone sites in California to ensure the continuity of space operations.
