The project was completed on schedule in 13 months.<\/p>\n<p>With the most<strong> advanced technology<\/strong> in Europe, the facilities will enhance Hisdesat&#8217;s capabilities in preparation for the entry into operation of the two <strong>new SpainSat NG satellites<\/strong>, to be launched in the coming months. They will also centralize satellite control, monitoring and tracking operations that Hisdesat currently carries out at various locations.<\/p>\n<p>Spain&#8217;s Ministry of Defense has classified the construction of this SCC as being directly related to <strong>national defense.<\/strong> It is a unique building due to the <strong>complexity of its installations<\/strong>. It meets the Spanish Ministry of Defense&#8217;s\u00a0 security requirements for government satellite control and operation, and for Spain&#8217;s participation in missions by international organizations such as NATO and the UN.<\/p>\n<h2>Smart building<\/h2>\n<p>The Satellite Control Center was planned, designed and built in accordance with principles of efficiency, <strong>sustainability and environmental preservation,<\/strong> while also complying with the strict security and privacy requirements of the activity.<\/p>\n<p>Designed by WSP Spain, the building blends into its surroundings and pursues sustainability through rainwater recycling systems, gray water reuse and photovoltaic canopies. The goal is to achieve the levels of energy efficiency and environmental friendliness required to obtain <strong>LEED Gold certification<\/strong>. In addition, the construction on two levels recessed into the ground reduces the visual impact on the Upper Manzanares Regional Park, in which it is located, while also guaranteeing users&#8217; privacy.<\/p>\n        <\/div>\n
