Harrison (Jack) Schmitt – 03 May 1973

Laurie Turner and Jack Schmitt

Honeysuckle had visits from many of the astronauts, some giving the station staff a talk.

On 3 May 1973 Laurie Turner from the Telemetry section is pictured talking to Dr Harrison Schmitt from Apollo 17, the second last man to leave the Moon’s surface. (And the last man to step onto it! )

Schmitt is the only geologist astronaut to visit the Moon.

William Pickering – 12 January 1969

William Pickering at Honeysuckle

Dr. William Pickering is pictured being seen off by Station Director Tom Reid on 12th January 1969.

Born in 1910 in Wellington, New Zealand, Dr William Pickering joined JPL during WWII and with his people, engineering skills and expertise in telemetry, became its Director in 1954. It was his Explorer 1 satellite that first put America in space on 31 January 1958. He died in March 2004.

Philip Chapman
Philip Chapman

Australia’s first astronaut, Dr Philip Chapman (left) came to have a look at Honeysuckle Creek and was shown over by Deputy Director Ian Grant on 09 December 1970.

Dr Chapman was born in Melbourne in 1935 but grew up in Sydney. He graduated from Sydney University and in 1958 was stationed at our Mawson Base in Antarctica for two years.

In May 1967 he became an American citizen to realise his dream to become an astronaut with NASA. He was selected in the 6th intake on 4 August 1967 and joined the elite band of Apollo astronauts.

Unfortunately the nearest he came to enter space was as an Apollo 14 scientist. With no sign of a berth in the foreseeable future he decided he didn’t want to wait, and left NASA in July 1972 to pursue other interests.

George E. Mueller and the Manned Space Flight Network Inspection Team – 6 January 1967


Network Inspection Trip

On 6 January 1967, members of the Manned Space Flight Network Inspection Team, led by George Mueller, visited Honeysuckle Creek. They visited the Wing at Tidbinbilla the next day.

This signed poster was presented to the Deputy Secretary of the Department of Supply, Lloyd Bott. He had helped organise their trip around Australia.

George Muller

On 6 January 1967, the Manned Space Flight Network Inspection Team visited the three tracking stations in the ACT.

Hamish Lindsay writes,

“I tagged along as photographer.

Here, NASA Associate Administrator for Manned Space Flight, Dr. George Mueller,(1918 – 2015) is holding an audience of HSK people discussing the antenna boresight television. Behind him from the left is Greg Thrum, STC’s ACT Manager; Station Director Bryan Lowe; Chief Engineer Wes Moon; and seated is Servo Operator Brian Bell.

Born in 1918, Dr Mueller had a brilliant career in the space industry. In his NASA years he was Deputy Associate Administrator of Manned Space Flight in 1963, Acting Director of the Apollo Program Office in 1964, and Associate Administrator for Manned Space Flight from 1963 to 1969.

Known as the Father of the Space Shuttle, he was also responsible for the ‘all up testing’ of the Saturn V rocket. He tossed out all the cautious existing plans by the rocket engineers and telescoped the trials to speed up progress. Von Braun admitted that without Mueller’s proposals the lunar landing would never have taken place before 1970. Mueller also sketched out the original concept of the Skylab laboratory.

He was awarded three NASA Distinguished Service Medals.

Jack Swigert

Astronaut John L. Swigert was born in Denver, Colorado, on 30 August 1931 and was a fighter pilot in Japan and Korea before joining NASA on 4 April 1966. He was Assignment Support for the Apollo 7 and 11 missions and rose to back-up crew for Apollo 13. He replaced Ken Mattingly for the ill-fated Apollo 13 voyage to the Moon in April 1970.

He paid a visit to Honeysuckle Creek on Tuesday 2 May 1972, shown here giving the station staff a lecture in the crew room. He left NASA on 1 August 1977 for political aspirations but died of cancer on 27 December 1982.

Lord Casey at HSK 1967

Lord Richard Casey, Governor-General of Australia, visited Honeysuckle Creek on 28th August 1967.

He is shown here at the Servo console, looking through the window to the antenna.

Chief Engineer Wes Moon is on the right, Station Director Tom Reid is just visible behind him.

Richard Gardiner Casey (1890 – 1976) trained as an Engineer. Before becoming Governor-General in 1965, he had held several ministerial positions in the Liberal Government, including several terms as Minister-in-Charge of the CSIR (later CSIRO).

He was a key player in supporting Radioastronomy in Australia. He campaigned to build the 210 foot (64 metre) Radiotelescope at Parkes, and persuaded the Carnegie Corporation of New York and the Commonwealth Government to provide sizeable grants.

He was elected to the fellowship of the Australian Academy of Science in 1966 in recognition of his conspicuous service to the cause of science. In 1969, he was named Australian of the Year, and the third Australian Antarctic Base was named after him.

Howard Kyle – 26 April 1969

Visitors

Johnson Space Center Director Christopher C. Kraft presents an award to Howard Kyle at Houston in 1981.

Howard Kyle visited Honeysuckle Creek and Tidbinbilla in April 1969 as part of an inspection tour of tracking stations.

Howard was one a member of the Langley Instrument Research Division until he transferred, as a senior engineer, to the Space Task Group in early 1959. This was shortly after the name Mercury was adopted for the Man-in-Space Program. At the STG, he was the interface between the Flight Control Branch and the Tracking System Study Group.

At STG, Kyle worked on the early design of the remote tracking stations and also the Mercury Control Center at the Cape. He was closely involved with the early Mercury Redstone flights, and sat in for Christopher Kraft as Cape Flight and Capcom in simulations and early unmanned flights. (Sources include The Birth of NASA, Manfried “Dutch” von Ehrenfried, Springer, 2016.)

During Apollo, he was stationed in one of the Staff Support Rooms in Building 30 (which housed Mission Control) at Houston, supporting the Manned Space Flight Network.

Howard’s son, Frank, has kindly shared these notes from his father’s notebook of the trip, as well as the photo above:

Excerpt from Howard Kyle trip report; April 16 – May 4, 1969:

Friday, April 25

Arrived in Canberra between 12:00 noon and 1:00 pm, and were met by Bob Leslie. He took us to the Embassy Motel in the Deakin district of Canberra.

Saturday, April 26

Saturday was spent briefing at HSK and discussions at the wing site (Tidbinbilla). I was tremendously impressed by the quality of the technical people here, and their eagerness. Tom Reid is the station director. He has two deputies (both of whom have visited ISD), Mike Dinn and Ian Grant. All three take turns manning the M&O supervisors consoles. The Honeysuckle Creek site is in by far the most beautiful location. In the mountains, the foothills of the Australian Alps, with green vegetation. Hard to take. Tidbinbilla is also very pleasant.

These people are very conscientious and intense in their efforts. I stayed Saturday afternoon until almost 6 o’clock, and even then the people left only when I was told I had to go get ready for a dinner party to be given in our honor at the Hotel Canberra. This was attended by some highups in the Australian telephone company (STC?), by Lloyd Bott, Willson Hunter, Lewis Wainwright, and quite a few others. Very pleasant.

Sunday, April 27

Sunday morning I spent sight seeing in Canberra. It is one of the most modern, clean, and beautiful cities I have ever seen. This part at least of Australia is tremendous. We ate a delicious lunch (charcoal broiled steaks, lamb chops, and sausages) with Bob and Elspeth Leslie. Very nice, and nice people. We drove up to the top of Red Hill lookout, took some pictures of the city, and ran into Lloyd Bott and his wife. They insisted we stop by their house, which we did, then went on to Tom Reid’s for dinner. Delightful.

Monday, April 28

Monday I went to the site with Tom Reid. He collected his comm people and we spent until about 3:00 pm discussing problems. I think I answered all of their questions. It is very stimulating to deal with these people.

We made a mad dash (with a DOS driver) to the airport via the Tidbinbilla Fauna and Animal Reserve. Never did see a kangaroo, or koala bear, just one little wombat. Not worth the wild ride. Departed Canberra rather reluctantly at 5:20 pm on Ansett ANA Electra for Sydney.
