Teófilo Tabanera Space Center, Space research center in Falda del Cañete, Argentina.

The Teófilo Tabanera Space Center is a CONAE research complex 30 km southwest of Córdoba city, in Falda del Cañete. It houses the Córdoba Ground Station, which commands and receives data from the SAC-C and SAC-D satellites, a Mission Control Center, an Integration and Testing Facility for environmental and qualification tests, the Mario Gulich Institute and the UFS higher-education unit.

The site was first used by the Argentine Air Force for its Cóndor Program and was built from 1979 in the locality of Falda del Cañete. The name "Falda del Carmen" was adopted to mislead foreign intelligence services. It later became a CONAE research complex with a ground station, mission control center and integration and testing facility.

The Mario Gulich Institute based here brings together students from Argentina and abroad to work on space technology research and development. This institution shapes how people in the country engage with scientific advancement and prepares specialists for the region's growing space sector.

The complex lies 30 km southwest of Córdoba city, in the Falda del Cañete area; the site was given the name Falda del Carmen to mislead foreign intelligence services. It is an active CONAE research and operations facility, so visits depend on prior coordination with the institution rather than open public access.

The facility commands and monitors several Argentine satellites from its mission control operations. This active role in satellite management makes it a crucial node in South American space activities.
