MADRID, June 4 (EUROPA PRESS) –
The Council of Ministers agreed this Tuesday to authorize the signing and provisional application of the Scientific Cooperation Agreement between Spain and the United States of America on the NASA monitoring station (MPJC).
This new agreement replaces the one from 2003 and, once signed, will begin to be applied provisionally on November 17, 2024, if it had not come into force before that date, as reported by the Executive.
The Scientific Cooperation Agreement between Spain and the United States on the NASA tracking station, made in Madrid on January 28, 2003, confirmed the provision to NASA of certain lands and rights of way in the municipalities of Robledo Chavela and Navas del Rey to continue using its existing facilities and equipment there.
This agreement was extended by an Exchange of Notes dated June 4 and 5, 2014 and a new Exchange of Notes dated August 31 and September 4, 2015 that extended its validity until November 17, 2024.
