Project Apollo Radio Communications
Join us for a live event at the Fuge in Warminster, PA with former RCA employee Steve DiMedio presenting a fascinating session on the radios that he had recreated from the Apollo era.
The Apollo EVCS AM transmitter radios made by RCA in Camden, NJ helped to put astronauts on the moon!
While walking on the moon in their space suits, Apollo astronauts used radios that transferred both voice and telemetry data back to the lunar module (which brought them to the lunar surface) and also to the command module orbiting 60 miles above the lunar surface (their primary spacecraft for travel to and from earth to the moon.)
Steve will discuss the history of these radios and will demonstrate how he rebuilt one of these radios after first carefully inspecting an original copy and creating schematic diagrams.
