Spanish wildfire forces NASA to evacuate Madrid Deep Space Network station

A fast-moving wildfire in central Spain forced NASA to evacuate the Madrid Deep Space Network complex. On 24 July, operational control of space missions was transferred to the Goldstone complex in California, maintaining uninterrupted communication with spacecraft. Preliminary reports indicate the antennas and support buildings survived, allowing NASA to plan the return of staff once local authorities declare the area safe.
