World exclusive: NASA Finds Missing Moon Landing Tapes


www.express.co.uk
ECSTATIC space officials at Nasa could be about to unveil one of their most stunning discoveries for 40 years — new and amazingly clear footage of the first moon landing.

The release of the new images next month could be one of the most talked about events of the summer.

The television images the world has been used to seeing of the historic moment when Neil Armstrong descended down a ladder onto the moon’s surface in 1969 is grainy, blurry and dark.

The following scenes, in which the astronauts move around the lunar lander, are so murky it is difficult to make out exactly what is

While it would be great if the tapes have been found and NASA is able to show them, don't get too excited by this one article..

It does appear that the author has made some assumptions from the inquiries to NASA, and also remember that there is a possibility that the tapes could be unusable..

My concerns are the timing...

Celebrating the moon landing anniversary with the lost footage would be huge coincidence would it not?

Who knows? it could just be a publicity stunt... we just have to be patient and see how it develops

Great find JacKatMtn.I've been working on this project I do hope that they are found,I hope this article is not old news as this happen 3years ago were they thought they had found them in a Perth university which was later found to be not so.Tommorrow I'm chatting with someone from the Honey suckle creek so I'll find out oneway all the other.
The problem has always been the fact that they were supposed to be shipped back to NASA Goddard Space flight center Greeenbelt Maryland.





The following scenes, in which the astronauts move around the lunar lander, are so murky it is difficult to make out exactly what is going on, causing conspiracy theorists to claim the entire Apollo 11 mission was an elaborate fraud..........
Instead, a poor quality copy made from a 16mm** camera pointing at a heavily compressed image on a black and white TV screen has been the only record of the event.


16mm** it was a 8mm camera not a 16mm as stated!

My understanding is that they found a 100 or so instrument data tapes in Perth three years ago.

Sounds like the TV tape was in that pile, and NASA have been keeping it quiet so they can use it for the 40th anniversary.


The Express newspaper appears to have sniffed out the story ahead of the transmission of the original images.

From the sourced article:

However, recently scientists looking for other data stumbled across a number of Nasa tapes in a storage facility in Perth, Australia.


Does that mean they aren't the McDonalds tapes? I don't know, it says that they were recorded at the Parkes Observatory...

Maybe someone who is more familiar with the tapes and their possible existence can chime in..



These tapes their referring to are not the McMoon Tapes (Denis Wingo) now called,(LOIRP)Lunar Orbiter Image Recovery Project.

The search for the Apollo 11 TV tapes The Apollo 11 Moonwalk in July 1969 was the climax of the Apollo Program with the largest television audience in history watching Mankind’s first steps on the Moon. Surprisingly, the best quality TV was never seen outside the tracking stations. The pictures seen by the world were degraded by the time they reached Houston. The highest quality TV was recorded on telemetry tapes at the three tracking stations which received the signal – Goldstone, Honeysuckle Creek and Parkes. These tapes have never been replayed, but if they can be found and digitally processed, they could produce stunningly clear TV – much better than was seen in Houston or on the worldwide broadcast. The original tapes may be stored – and forgotten about – at a NASA facility somewhere.

I hope this isn't old news.
