Tracking Apollo 11

Tracking Apollo panel discussion at the National Museum of Australia on the 19th July 2019, on the 50th Anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing.

Video courtesy of National Museum, this is a better quality copy than my own recording on EEVdiscover, it has the slides edited in.

Original trackers from the Honeysuckle Creek tracking station near Canberra in Australia talk about the challenges involved in receiving and broadcasting Neil Armstrong's Apollo 11 moon walk video and telemetry. Hear amazing stories about what happened on the day 50 years ago from those who made it possible for 650 million people to see the Apollo 11 moon walk video.
The Honeysuckle Creek tracking station was the one that received and broadcast Neil Armstrong's first steps.
