Abstract

During the mid-twentieth century Apollo missions to the Moon, dozens of intercommunication and telecommunication voice channels were recorded for historical purposes in the Mission Control Center. These recordings are now being digitized. This paper describes initial experiments with integration of multi-channel audio into a mission reconstruction system, and it describes work in progress on the development of more advanced user experience designs.
