What did do you do here?
Goonhilly used to handle communications traffic - around 10 million telephone calls a week, computer data, fax, video conferencing, telex from the Atlantic and Indian Ocean areas, it also handled TV pictures from across the globe. Today it handles limited traffic due to the large number of other earth stations around the UK and a lot of traffic now uses fibre optic cables, which don't require the use of a satellite dish. The dishes are antennas not telescopes for looking at the stars. Today, we have Future World @ Goonhilly as our main attraction, a truly unique attraction that lets you help predict what the future may be like in the next 100 years and beyond.

Has Goonhilly ever featured on television?
Yes, amongst others it has made appearances in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Inventions that changed the World, Blue Peter and most recently BBC's 20th Century Roadshow.
