Australia instrumental in broadcasting Neil Armstrong’s first moon step
2 days 18 hours ago
The first footstep on the surface on the moon would never have been watched by millions had it not been for Australian stargazers. Space analyst Dr Morris Jones has told Sky News: ‘Australia’s main role in the Apollo program was tracking, mostly from the station at Honeysuckle Creek. This was important because it was receiving telemetry live form the surface of the moon as Neil Armstrong took that rather small step'. Honeysuckle Creek Tracking Station’s primary role involved watching over the astronaut trio's health and welfare, as well as monitoring the health of Apollo 11. The station’s former deputy director Mike Dinn says, ‘had the flight plan worked out the way it was slated, television of the first picture was going to come through Parkes (Radio Telescope), however, the moon had not risen into the view of the Parkes dish at the time they came down the ladder'. NASA astronauts touched down on the moon on July 20, 1969. While Michael Collins remained behind in the Command Module orbiting around the moon, Mr Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin descended to the surface on the Lunar Module. Image: NASA

Astronauts Gus Grissom, Roger Chaffee, and Ed White were tucked inside a command module atop a giant Saturn V rocket at the Kennedy Space Centre when they noticed a strange odour. The trio reported difficulties communicating before fire erupted in the cockpit and screams were heard. Crews who attempted to rescue the men were unsuccessful, having opened the door to a burnt and blackened interior alongside white suits.
