Test ranges, observatories and ground stations are a hand-picked list kept in this project rather than a published catalogue: no catalogue answers which of the world's thousands of observing sites belong on a map of it. The article below is what lets the choice be argued with.

## What it is

The Madrid Deep Space Communications Complex (MDSCC; Spanish: Complejo de Comunicaciones de Espacio Profundo de Madrid) is a deep-space communications complex in Robledo de Chavela, near Madrid, Spain. It is a Deep Space Network installation in Spain managed by the Instituto Nacional de Técnica Aeroespacial (INTA) under bilateral cooperation between Spain and the United States in support of NASA. The complex forms one of the three sites of NASA's Deep Space Network (DSN), together with the complexes at Goldstone, California, and the Canberra complex in Australia.
