The History Of Live Pool Splashdown Coverage…Part 3

Our friend Jodie Peeler has written a great three part story on this subject with lots of detail, linked video and photos that I am proud to present here. Unlike today, bringing live television pictures from a ship at sea was a whole new ballgame and in this series, we’ll learn how it was done. More details on the photos, so click on all included this this post. Thank You Jodie! Bobby Ellerbee

“So now that we’ve discussed the capabilities, what about all the support equipment? These diagrams from Hornet’s Apollo 11 and Apollo 12 Cruise Report shed some light on the equipment and where it was located.” Jodie Peeler
