The Government has offered Australia's three mobile operators, and vividwireless, renewal of their existing spectrum allocated on 15 year licences in the late 90s and early 2000s at set prices, while the Government expects to rake in $3 billion.
The intended plan was to pass the surface of the Moon at about 32,000 kilometers (19,880 miles).
However, its second stage rocket did not cut-off at its intended time, which would have allowed the Pioneer 4 to race closer to the Moon and, thus, allow its photography equipment to image the Moon.
However, its overall mission was a successful and it paved the way for bigger and better missions to the Moon.
Thus, Pioneer 4, and its team of engineers, technicians, and scientists, should be remembered for their successful completion of sending the first space probe outside the gravitational confines of Earth.
And, they should be honored for helping to prepare for the manned Apollo missions to the Moon, that allowed the United States to become the first country on Earth to have humans walk on the lunar surface, an accomplishment yet to be performed by any other country--which should change sometime in the 2010s or 2020s.
