The CHEOPS instrument and control teams at the Mission Operations Centre (MOC) at INTA in Torrejón de Ardoz, near Madrid, Spain, during in-orbit commissioning of the satellite and instrument.
This photo was taken on 9 January 2020, shortly after receiving the first CHEOPS dark image. The ground station antenna in the background is one of the two used to uplink commands to the satellite and download the data (the second antenna is located in Villafranca, also near Madrid).
