Goonhilly

Managed hosted solutions for space research and earth observation

Goonhilly has been at the forefront of the satellite communications industry for over 50 years, first catching the public’s imagination in 1962 when its large dish, Aerial-1, known as Arthur, received the first transatlantic TV signal - a speech by President Kennedy via Telstar, the earliest communications satellite. In 1969, the Apollo 11 Moon landing truly signalled the dawn of the space age, as Arthur beamed Neil Armstrong’s first steps on the Moon to a global audience of around 600 million. Arthur went on to broadcast Muhammad Ali fights and the 1985 Live Aid concerts.
