AFP said, this is a lost video in the archives over the past few decades and has just been found. In a few minutes, it was one of the best quality footage of the first human footsteps on the moon on July 20, 1969.

According to Sarkissian, scientists spent a lot of time and effort searching for the video containing the video. Then they had to digitize each frame in the tape.

" The tape was badly damaged, but it contained the first minutes of the Armstrong moon ," Sarkissian said.

After being restored, its image quality is much higher than the previous videos shown in the world.


Video landings on the moon

Telescopes in Australia's desert regions played an important role in the Apollo 11 flight after Armstrong astronauts decided to land on the moon earlier than planned. The landing position of the landing compartment on the other side of the moon - out of control of the US control center.

' NASA used the signal of Goldstone broadcasting station in California, USA today and those signals were not standard. But the signals that Australian broadcasters received allowed audiences to see Armstrong clearly. In the previously published videos, audiences hardly see Armstrong , "said John Sarkissian, an historian and astronomer in charge of Australia's recovery of science videos.

The video will be shown in an award ceremony of the Australian Geographic magazine on October 6.

' Upon learning that Buzz Aldrin (astronaut who stepped down to the moon with Armstrong on July 20, 1969) will attend the award ceremony as a guest of honor, we think this is a good opportunity to show the film ' , Sarkissian said.
