Centro Espacial Nacional

Centro Espacial Nacional (CEN) is the Chilean Air Force's national space-system facility inside Base Aérea Los Cerrillos in Santiago. Inaugurated in December 2025, the 5,800-square-metre hub supports on-orbit satellite mission control, space-technology development and satellite assembly, integration and testing, plus data-science, data-centre, research, innovation and talent capabilities. Current Air Force and government sources document invited official and community visits, but do not publish a routine public opening or walk-in route; this is a controlled military-base facility, so visitors must obtain current permission from the operator before travelling. The nearby Museo Nacional Aeronáutico y del Espacio is a separate public destination.
