As part of the events celebrating 40 years of Estrack, several days of workshops are being held at Cebreros station, Spain, this week.

Yesterday, we saw an interesting group shot: This is the first time that engineers from all of ESA’s ground station maintenance and operations teams – the folks working on site at the stations themselves  – have met for training in one location.
