Abstract:

© 2019 IEEE. The Parkes radiotelescope and Honeysuckle Creek stations in Australia received the telemetry from the Lunar Module 'Eagle', including the first television pictures from the first moonwalk for distribution to millions of people on Earth. Parkes' TV picture quality was superior to those received at the other ground stations, therefore NASA used Parkes as the TV source for all but the first nine minutes of the over 5 hours of the TV broadcast. The Parkes radiotelescope is historically important for its contribution to the first Moon landing as well as its design and for the corrugated feed horn first used at Parkes.
