EUROPEAN UNION SATELLITE CENTRE (SATCEN)

The European Union Satellite Centre (EU SatCen) is the agency of the European Union (EU) that gathers information through satellite imagery. The centre is Torrejón de Ardoz, in the vicinity of Madrid, Spain. Other countries who have an association agreement with the SatCen can also use its resources. Although it is autonomous in its daily operations, the High Representative Federica Mogherini is responsible for its operational direction.
