The Apollo 11 Television Broadcast

as relayed from Sydney Video



The first 5 minutes of Apollo 11 EVA TV – Scan-converted

(We’re not certain where this video was recorded – but the placement of the audio with respect to the video indicates it was made at Sydney Video. Either way, it is a recording of the feed that was being sent by satellite to the US from Sydney.)

While this video is not from the telemetry tapes (and therefore isn’t the best we hope to find), it is an improvement over what we have had of the first few minutes on TV.

This footage was not broadcast on the day – and has not been since, as far as we know. See the 4 x side-by-side comparison below to see what was seen internationally and what was broadcast on Australian TV.
