Managed by the Institute of Space Studies of Catalonia<\/a><\/strong> (IEEC — Institut d'Estudis Espacials de Catalunya), the OdM is a state-of-the-art scientific infrastructure, located in Sant Esteve de la Sarga (Pallars Jussà) and inside the Orígens UNESCO Global Geopark.<\/p>\n

Its facilities are reserved for scientific use and, therefore, are closed to the general public. But several days a year, the Observatory opens its doors<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

These sessions offer the opportunity to take a tour to the Observatory's infrastructure and equipment, such as its astronomical telescopes<\/strong>, among them the Joan Oró Telescope (in honour of the well-known biochemist from Lleida), satellite communications infrastructure<\/strong>, Earth Observation satellite calibration systems, and atmospheric measurement services<\/strong>, all of them based on innovative technologies.<\/p>\n

IEEC astronomers will explain how the equipment works, what scientific discoveries have been made recently, and how communication with nanosatellites is carried out.<\/p>\n

The guided tours of this 2023 will be held on the following days:<\/p>\n
