The Apollo 11 Honeysuckle Creek Staff Photo


Updated scans

(Most of) the team who brought you Neil Armstrong’s first step.

Shortly after Apollo 11,
most of the Honeysuckle team assembled outside the Operations Building,
with the antenna as backdrop.

Hamish Lindsay took three group photos, one colour and two black and white:

Photo 1.

This has become the ‘official’ black and white photo.

(Not everyone is in these photos – e.g. Ian Grant and John Saxon are otherwise engaged, and Hamish is behind the camera.)

Here’s a key to the photo. JPEG version. PDF version.

The plan is to add the names of team members who missed out being in the photo – to come.

Photo 3.

Unlike the ‘classic’ photos above, this one includes the entire Honeysuckle dish.

The perspective from closer to the Ops Building gives better vertical separation of the team members, though not everyone was ready for the photo!

And one more...

This one has John Saxon “included” – he missed out on being there for the actual photo. (Digital manipulation by Mike Dinn.)
