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.
