Apollo 11 Moon Landing
The Apollo 11 Mission in July 1969 returned the first geological samples from the moon. Prof Denis O'Sullivan of DIAS, along with Prof Alex Thompson, developed innovative techniques to analyse Cosmic Ray tracks on the lunar rocks.
Their research gained international recognition for DIAS and Ireland, establishing Ireland as a respected contributor to global space research.

I was nearly 5 years old, but I can still remember the Apollo 11 landing. July 20th 1969. I never dreamed I’d still be waiting for another manned landing on July 20th, 2024. -
