Catalonia Is Set To Launch Its Own Space Agency. Will It Fly? By Lucía Benavides  March 17, 2021 LLEIDA, Spain The first thing you see when you get to the Montsec Astronomical Park is a big dark metal dome: the planetarium. Behind it are three smaller white domes, housing various telescopes. Farther up a bumpy road is the Montsec Observatory. All this space gadgetry seems out of place among the earthy mountain surroundings, but the area which has some of the darkest skies in Catalonia has been frequented by amateur astronomers for decades. When the observatory opened in 2008, it “was conceived as an astronomical observatory, but that was extended in 2018 as a ground station for the communication with nanosatellites,” says Josep Colomé, the Montsec Observatory’s director.
