Wildfire Evacuates NASA's Deep Space Network Complex in Spain

A wildfire burning near Madrid forced the evacuation of NASA's Deep Space Network facility in Robledo de Chavela, Spain, which houses critical antennas for communicating with space missions. The fire threatens a key ground station that supports spacecraft such as Voyager and Mars rovers. While firefighting crews are battling the blaze, the evacuation could temporarily disrupt some deep-space communications.
