Apollo 11 Tracking Systems (1969)
🕑 Added 2021-11-20 22:24:51 +0000 UTCHere is a one-of-a-kind 16mm positive print spliced reel that depicts operations at the NASA Ground Communications System gathering telemetry data and tracking information during the Apollo 11 mission. We see live video feeds from the Moon being recorded on a 2" Quad recorder, take a visit to the bustling NASCOM Headquarters at the Goddard Spaceflight Center, see lots of shots of the various ground tracking stations around the world, look at the ARIA (Apollo Range Instrumented Aircraft) which hosts a 7 foot S-Band tracking dish in its nose and is filled with telemetry recorders and relay equipment, and ends with a visit to Mission Control in Houston and a look inside the display console control room and an ending shot of a live video feed from the Apollo 11 Command Module. Enjoy!
