" summary

Volunteers preserve Goonhilly Earth Station history, cataloguing thousands of donated documents, photos and kit while running public access labs from two rooms lent by GE educational outreach. Practical build work includes a microwave waveguide test bench, an operational network analyzer setup and optical terminals rescued from ships; visitors and work‑experience students use those benches. BT ceased satellite ops in 2007, the site sale completes in 2014 and the heritage society forms in 2015; three annual open days and a website launched yesterday.
