Madrid Deep Space Communications Complex

node · earth

The Deep Space Network's European complex, near Robledo de Chavela in the hills west of Madrid, operated in partnership with Spain's Instituto Nacional de Técnica Aeroespacial. It carries the middle third of the network's longitude coverage, so that a spacecraft handed off from Goldstone can be picked up without a gap as the Earth rotates. Like the other two complexes it has a 70-metre antenna and a set of 34-metre dishes, and it tracks Voyager 1 among many other missions.
