Goonhilly Satellite Station located on the Lizard Peninsula will celebrate the 50th anniversary since the Apollo moon landings where Goonhilly played a key communications role. Orbital and Public Service Broadcasting will head up the music on offer supported by local DJs.

This is where in 1969 “Arthur”, Once the largest satellite dish in the world, built for the Telstar launches that signalled the dawning of the space age and named after King Arthur beamed images of the 1969 moon landing to millions of homes.

The site was even mentioned in The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy , when its dishes failed to detect the Vogon invasion that ultimately led to the end of the world. Once the largest satellite earth station in the world, its visitor centre attracted around 80,000 visitors a year.
