Tracking camera site at the Down Range Guidance Station, Gove
Tracking camera site used to calibrate antenna systems at the Down Range Guidance Station, Gove. A pod contains a very brilliant light plus equipment to allow the interferometer array to track a RAAF Aircraft, which flew a pre-determined pattern at night. The light flashed every few seconds, the cameras were on a time exposure and viewed the track of the aircraft as a series of white dots against the night sky. A much smaller camera was fitted to the centre of the guidance antenna dish. Information from the interferometer array allowed the guidance antenna to then track the path of the aircraft. The station tracked and guided ELDO vehicles that were launched from Woomera into a polar orbit.
