The historic footage of Apollo 11 Astronaut Neil Armstrong taking his first steps on the surface of the Moon were relayed to the world via a 26-metre antenna dish at NASA’s Honeysuckle Creek Tracking Station near Canberra, ACT. Fifty years later, the Moon Landing is still regarded as one of the greatest triumphs of human endeavour. Millions of people around the world know exactly where they were as they watched the famous television broadcast.
The tracking station at Honeysuckle Creek is now closed, but the historic antenna can still be seen at the Canberra Deep Space Communication Complex at Tidbinbilla.
