El Arenosillo Test Centre (CEDEA) is the name of a rocket launch site for suborbital rockets managed by INTA , located in Moguer (Spain).[2] [3] [4] province of Huelva , Andalucía , in the southwest coast of Spain (37.1° N, 6.7° W).[5] Center of Excellence for Unmanned Systems (CEUS).
El Arenosillo is also the location of an autonomous astronomical observatory of the BOOTES network,[6] [4]
Equipment [ edit ]
Among the main facilities that INTA has at CEDEA are (updated 2009):
Two automatic telemetry systems (fixed and mobile) in S and L bands
HF, UHF and VHF communications systems
Airborne and maritime surveillance radars, NORTHCONTROL
Mobile path radar, VITRO RIR 778X, 250 Kw
Radar path, TRACOR RIR 779C, 1 Mw
1Mw VITRO RIR 778C mobile path radar with destruction command
Three autonomous mobile optronic stations, MSP 2000, equipped with IR, TV, cinema and radar sensors (3D, high precision and with telemetric capabilities)
Weather center with real-time information, satellite data reception and complete radiosonde system
Control center where all the information necessary for the supervision and monitoring of a launching operation (air traffic control, meteorology, cartography, sensor data integration, flight safety, etc.) is centralized.
Evaluation center: preparation, analysis and evaluation of reports
Two high speed cameras (10000 images/s)
Complementing the above, the Center also has:
Meteorological laboratory and probe balloons
Presentation and conference room
Telemetry, radar and optronic workshops
Mechanical workshop, electrical workshop, sanitary service and warehouses
Accommodation service for operations
Laboratory for photographic processing
In 2017 part of the equipment was damaged in a wildfire . In the years 2018 and 2019 INTA has dedicated part of its budget to replace damaged equipment.

Launch history [ edit ]
Stratos II+ sounding rocket launched from El Arenosillo.
The first launch of a rocket from El Arenosillo took place 15 October 1966.[7] Skua type for atmospheric soundings and in collaboration with other countries.[8] Nike Cajun , Nike Apache , Centaure , Black Brant , Skylark , Petrel , Super Loki , INTA-255 , INTA-300 and INTA-300B .[3]
All rockets for atmospheric soundings in Spain are launched from El Arenosillo.
In 2015 Delft Aerospace Rocket Engineering broke the European altitude record for amateur rocketry by launching the Stratos II+ rocket to 21.5 km altitude from El Arenosillo.[9] [10]
On 1 March 2017, Zero 2 Infinity tested its first rocket, a Bloostar prototype, in El Arenosillo.[11] goals of the mission were: (i ) validation of the telemetry systems in Space conditions, (ii ) controlled ignition, (iii) stabilization of the rocket, (iv ) monitoring of the launch sequence, (v ) parachute deployment, and finally, (vi ) sea recovery. All these goals were achieved in full.[12]
In 2023 PLD Space launched its first rocket Miura 1 from El Arenosillo.[13] [14] [15]
