Telecommunication dish at Goonhilly Satellite Earth Station, on the Downs

Situated just south of Helston and the Naval Air Station at Culdrose, it is famous for its Goonhilly Satellite Earth Station, the largest one in the world.

Half a mile before the BT Satellite dishes is Goonhilly Craft Shop and Tea Room.

A new company has been formed to manage the operations, Goonhilly Earth Station Ltd.

The eastern part of Goonhilly Downs is also in the parish.

Goonhilly Downs is a Site of Special Scientific Interest that forms a raised plateau in the central western area of the Lizard Peninsula in Cornwall, England, UK.

Goonhilly Downs is now also home to a 5. 6 MW wind farm consisting of fourteen 400 kW wind turbines and a tourist attraction called Cornish Camels.

A wind farm exists near to the Goonhilly station site.

Several nature sites exist on the Lizard Peninsula ; Predannack nature reserve, Mullion Island, Goonhilly Downs, and the Cornish Seal Sanctuary at Gweek.

It lies on the coast west of Goonhilly Downs, with Mullion to the south and Porthleven to the north.

The first parabolic antenna used for satellite communications was constructed in 1962 at Goonhilly in Cornwall, England, UK to communicate with the Telstar satellite.

1989 saw the introduction of the first fibre optic cable between Guernsey and England with the second fibre optic cable running from Jersey to Goonhilly in the UK put in place in 1994.

On 12 September 2006, BT announced it would shut down satellite operations at Goonhilly in 2008, and move them to Madley Communications Centre in Herefordshire, making that centre BT's only earth station and the biggest in the world.

There are plans to connect one or more of the Goonhilly dishes into global radio astronomy interferometer networks.

This became the Goonhilly satellite earth station, now owned by BT Group plc.

Some important developments in television satellite transmission were made at Goonhilly station.

100, 000 people a year visit BT's nearby FutureWorld @ Goonhilly ( now closed ) and many of them also call into the Craft Shop and Tea Room before making their way back from Goonhilly.

He designed the first instruments used in satellites to measure cosmic radiation and ozone, and in 1951 or 1952 designed the MOUSE (" Minimal Orbital Unmanned Satellite, Earth "), a proposed satellite that would contain Geiger counters for measuring cosmic rays, photo cells for scanning the Earth, telemetry electronics for sending data back to Earth, a magnetic data storage device, and rudimentary solar energy cells.

Alternatively, other kinds of stereoscopic pairs can be employed using the digital image correlation method, where two optical images acquired with different angles taken from the same pass of an airplane or an Earth Observation Satellite ( such as the HRS instrument of SPOT5 or the VNIR band of ASTER ).

Sputnik 2 (,, Satellite 2 ), or ' Prosteyshiy Sputnik 2 ( PS-2, Elementary Satellite 2 )), was the second spacecraft launched into Earth orbit, on November 3, 1957, and the first to carry a living animal, a dog named Laika.

On July 23, 1972 the Earth Resources Technology Satellite was launched.

This occurred in 1985 when the Earth Observation Satellite Company ( EOSAT ), a partnership of Hughes Aircraft and RCA, was selected by NOAA to operate the Landsat system under a ten year contract.

* Landsat 1 ( originally named Earth Resources Technology Satellite 1 ): launched July 23, 1972, terminated operations January 6, 1978

It was the first satellite of the Soviet Earth Satellite series.

It was the second satellite of the Soviet Earth Satellite series.
