Staff List
Back to NASA Station
The names in this staff list have been collected from early staff lists, operational rosters, transport schedules and retrenchment lists. We also polled the memory and records of over 100 Trackers we are still in contact with, particularly those of Trevor Mosel and Terry Kierans who kept details of Tracker re-unions.
The 522 names in this list include employees of Amalgamated Wireless Australasia Ltd (AWA) – the station contractor and of its sub-contractors - and of officers from the Department of Supply (DoS) and the Ionospheric Prediction Service (IPS). We estimate that this only about 90% of the complete number.
It intentionally does not include the more-than-100 NASA employees and contractors temporarily resident in Carnarvon for periods of a week up to several months; such as astronauts, flight controllers, simulation teams, installation and test engineers and trainers.
At its peak in early 1973 the station employed from 220 to 230 people - just as the ultimate closure of the station was announced.
