HISPASAT satellite broadband solution powers Mars Spanish Mission sims


A HISPASAT-provided satellite broadband solution will ensure the Mars Spanish Mission enjoys high-quality web access and communications during its simulations.

The preliminary phase of the first Spanish simulated Mars colonization mission will take place in the Sierra Jubierre in Aragon, Spain from April 4 to 7, 2013. The final mission will be held in the U.S. province of Utah in 2014.

The researchers at the scientific camp will leverage HISPASAT's satellite broadband services and equipment to maintain communications with the Mission Support Center based at the European Business and Innovation Center (CEEI) in Zaragoza.

HISPASAT's satellite broadband solution grants the Mars Spanish Mission access to high-powered Internet from satellite connectivity wherever they may be the world, including areas outside the reach of terrestrial networks. The Company's services are supported by more than 4,000 dedicated satellite antennas in Spanish territory, cementing HISPASAT's command of the residential satellite broadband market in Spain.
