Historical Audio Recording

Thanks to  Michael Ferdie, son of Ronald Ferdie one of the early members of the RCAA, we have been gifted with the original audio records from the dedication of the Observatory. You can hear the voices of the founding members and Dr. Wernher von Braun in these historical records from  October 1958 that Michael has restored for us from Los Angeles (CA). We thank Michael and his family for these priceless memories.

Visit the VBAS FTP server (menu on your left) and go to the Historical Records / Audio Records section to download the files in MP3 or WAV format. You can also have a glimpse at the hard work that Michael had to do in order to restore the recording. Thank you Michael!
