NASA Investigates Spain Wildfires
Wildfires in Spain have led to the evacuation of NASA's Madrid Deep Space Communications Complex, a key pillar of the agency's space network, located 65 kilometers west of Madrid. The site was directly affected, resulting in a temporary loss of communication with spacecraft, prompting NASA to switch operations to the Canberra tracking station in Australia and the Goldstone station in California to ensure mission continuity. The agency confirmed that protecting personnel is a priority and that it will assess the damages when conditions permit, while expressing solidarity with the affected areas and communities.
