Bill Bradfield and Sputnik
Saddened to hear of the news of the death of Bill Bradfield. He originally worked with my father at Defence Research Centre Salisbury and the two were members of the 1957 Moonwatch team that spotted, tracked and captured video of Sputnik from the Physics building of the University of Adelaide.
The photo shows the two men at a Defence Science Technology Organisation (DSTO) reunion many years later. Two of the ex-WW2 tank scopes they used to track Sputnik have survived.
