In this section The 9 metre USB Apollo antenna Carnarvon Tracking Station was the largest manned space flight tracking station outside the US. It should not be confused with the nearby OTC Carnarvon Earth Station which was built primarily to carry comms from the NASA station to the US. (See also the “Downunder Comes up Live” TV segment in the above OTC Earth Station section. The TV broadcast included people from the NASA station.) |
