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. The companion book, "Carnarvon and Apollo: One giant leap for a small Australian town ", published by Rosenberg Publishing, is now available.
Margaret Medcalf Award 2011 - Special Commendation
“This work links Western Australian social history to the international history of science and
technology in a highly readable way. Its lively exploration of Carnarvon's critical role in
support of NASA space missions reminds us that history in living memory is no less
surprising than the events of long ago. The use of maps, cartoons, photographs and
personal reminiscences enhance the appeal of an intriguing story."
