History

Apollo 11 was the first successful space mission to not only put human beings on the surface of another celestial body but also return them safely to Earth. Ascension Island is the nation of issue for this release because of the role it played in NASA programs through the 1960s. Devils Ashpit on the eastern side of the island was chosen as an ideal site to construct a NASA tracking station. After providing support to Surveyor missions starting in 1965, as well as later deep-space missions, Devils Ashpit helped track Apollo 11 on its trek from Earth to the Moon.
