Lonely Planet review for Canberra Space Centre

The Canberra Deep Space Communications Complex was opened in 1965. Pride of place goes to Deep Space Station 43, a 70m-diameter dish that has communicated with the likes of Voyager 1 and 2, Galileo and various Mars probes. There are displays of spacecraft and deep-space tracking technology, plus a piece of lunar basalt scooped up by Apollo XI in 1969. A theatrette continuously screens short films on space exploration and the Moon Rock Café serves drinks and lunches.
