Welcome to CarnarvonSpace

This site celebrates Western Australia's role in Space research and, in particular, Carnarvon's critical role supporting NASA's Gemini, Apollo and Skylab projects.

Note (May 2008): . . . The manuscript of "One giant leap for a town: Carnarvon and Apollo" (provisional title), the book to which this site is to be a companion, has now been submitted to the publisher, University of Western Australia Press.
