Spain 2019 50th Anniversary Moon Landing
Issue date 13 June 2019
To commemorate Spanish contribution to the Moon Landing 50 years ago, Correos Post has issued a special miniature sheet with cold foil printing giving the sheet a metallic effect combined with Augmented Reality printing technology. The Augmented Reality can be viewed through the App
‘Sellos RA Correos’ which can be downloaded on the mobile
At the height of the first moon landing, it was the Fresnedillas station ( Madrid Apollo , in the technical jargon of NASA), and its men who had the responsibility and honor to directly help the descent of the Eagle and its crew Armstrong and Aldrin. Armstrong's words: "The Eagle has landed." Were first heard in Fresnedillas before being heard in Houston.
Spain was a major contributor through the Spanish National Institute of Aerospace Technology (INTA), which provided monitoring and control stations in Fresnedillas and Robledo (Madrid), and Maspalomas (Gran Canaria). Spanish technicians, with the Americans, constantly monitored the vital signs of the astronauts, and processed the avalanche of data that were being received from the Moon, while transmitting numerous instructions to correct their course and specify the place and time of the Moon landing. Not without merit, this irreplaceable support was called “The vital link”.
