I would feel more optimistic about a bright future for man if he spent less time
proving that he can outwit Nature and more time tasting her sweetness and
respecting her seniority.

to Apollo
4. How NASA Tracked Apollo 11 to the Moon and Back with 1960s
Tech
NASA relied on the U.S. State Department to implement an extensive global
network of antennas to collect radio signals from the Apollo missions, including
the first moon landing, which occurred 50 years ago.
The monitoring system, collectively referred to as the Spaceflight Tracking and
Data Network, has gone through various incarnations: It cut its teeth tracking the
first artificial satellites around Earth.
By the time the first American flew in space, NASA had already established at
least 30 ground stations on five continents; several islands; and aboard ships
sailing the Atlantic, Indian and Pacific oceans, according to author Sunny Tsiao
in the NASA History Series digital book "Read You Loud and Clear!" (2008).
5. Officials at NASA wanted to maintain contact with Apollo's Eagle
it descended to the moon's surface after emerging from behind the moon. If the Apollo 11 crew needed to abort
the landing, there was a very short period of time in which they could make the decision. And the moon would be
visible in Australia when this crucial moment was scheduled to occur.
Honeysuckle Creek carried most of NASA's communications with Armstrong and Aldrin during their extravehicular
activity. The most crucial of those communications were biomedical data from the astronauts' Portable Life
Support System backpacks. Most of the data from the Columbia command module, which carried astronaut
Michael Collins, traveled to the 26-meter antenna at Tidbinbilla.
These telescopes are now part of the Canberra Deep Space Communication Complex. The CDSCC supports
NASA's Deep Space Network, which now receives information from spacecraft much farther away in the solar
system, including the Voyager probes that have crossed into interstellar space.
7. To free up space for a television downlink from the lunar module, NASA removed the ranging
code and changed the modulation from phase to frequency. This freed up 700 kHz of bandwidth
for a television downlink on the USB signal.
