“The demonstrated success in space flight is the result of electronic technology developed at Cape Canaveral, the J. F. Kennedy Space Center, and other sites, and applied here. A wide variety of advances in radar tracking, data telemetry, instrumentation, space-to-ground communications, on-board guidance, and real-time computation were employed to support the U.S. space program. These and other electronic developments provided the infrastructure necessary for the successful landing of men on the moon in July 1969 and their safe return to earth.”

The Canaveral Section is looking for those individuals who were involved in the efforts honored by the Milestone, and to invite them and others who may be interested in attending the May 25 unveiling ceremony at the Dr. Kurt H. Debus Conference Center located at the Kennedy Space Center Visitor’s Complex.
