NASA evacuated its Madrid Deep Space Communication Complex on Friday after wildfires approached the site; all personnel were accounted for and no injuries were reported. The complex, one of three 24/7 Deep Space Network stations, uses 230‑foot antennas to communicate with spacecraft such as Voyager 1; a six‑antenna array was scheduled to receive data from the spacecraft’s Plasma Wave System on April 20, 2024. Approximately 90 staff members were evacuated, and Spanish authorities reported broader evacuations and lockdowns in the region; emergency crews are battling the fire to protect the facility. NASA confirmed that damage will be assessed once conditions are safe and that mission operations have been transferred to the Goldstone Deep Space Communication Complex in California to maintain continuity. The agency also noted that a separate antenna at its California site sustained damage in September 2025, classified as a Type A mishap with estimated repair costs between $4.1 million and $4.6 million. NASA will monitor wildfire activity in coordination with local authorities and the U.S. Embassy, and will evaluate the condition of the Madrid station before resuming full operations.
