ESA to build its third deep space ground station in Argentina
26 June 2009
On 22 June, ESA informed Argentinean authorities that an area 30 km south of the town of Malargüe in Mendoza province, about 1000 km west of Buenos Aires, has been chosen as the best option to build a new 35-meter antenna in support of its programmes.
It is the first infrastructure to be built in Argentina by ESA.
