First of all, I don't accept your premise that it needs to be from a national space agency rather than any independent source
Second of all, I gave you an article about how the Soviets tracked it.
If you think the article is a fake then email Roscosmos and ask them, that's up to you to prove, not me.
Exactly what other "space agencies" do you think were around in 1969? The ESA didn't exist then. Japan's didn't exist then. India's didn't exist then...... It was basically NASA and the Soviets. I find it very much a paradox that you believe we faked the moon landing (IE don't trust was a government agency like NASA says), and then turn around and ask for tracking reports from other "official" tracking stations......which would have been government run too. So who exactly is it you'd like to see a tracking report from?

Fair enough. I am a very skeptical person so independent sources are arbitrary to me. For example: it would be easier for nasa to spread disinformation through indipendent sources rather than national sources as to why i request national sources.
So i ask again. Are there any offical statements from national space agencies, regarding the tracking of the apollo missions? I am asking for official statements that are not independent nor from nasa.

Well i believe that if it was a hoax then nasa and the american government would be in on it together. hence asking for offical sources other than nasa.
As everyone keeps saying, if nasa faked the moon landings then russia would have caught them out! so as i said. Are there any offical statements from national space agencies, regarding the tracking of the apollo missions? I am asking for official statements that are not independent nor from nasa. So these can be national space agencies from other countries, government statements etc.
If you cannot. then just admit you cannot.
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is the agency of the United States government that is responsible for the nation's civilian space program and for aeronautics and aerospace research.

Okay i managed to find the soviet article in english and it is from an independant source from a person named E.P.Molotova for who i cannot find any background data.
Secondly this article is from a magazine. yes it is an official magazine but i am not looking for information from magazines, newspapers or independent sources
I am asking for official sources from national space agencies or other national governments. if the soviets were the only space agency at that time then are there official statements from the soviet space agency or the soviet government regarding the tracking of the apollo missions?

And we are talking Apollo 11. The first ever TV presentation of a man in a suit
on the moon. And never before tested within 239,000 miles of the moon.
Well I never saw a man in a suit during that mission anyhow.edit on 4/11/2012 by longjohnbritches because: grrr quoteedit on 4/11/2012 by longjohnbritches because: (no reason given)edit on 4/11/2012 by longjohnbritches because: (no reason given)
If you believe that NASA faked the moon landings of Apollo, then you believe that the US government was behind it. If you believe that, then you will NOT trust ANY tracking reports made by ANY branch of the US Government, hence there is NO way to provide you with a "official" tracking report that originates in the USA. We can only give you reports made by those outside of the US government, but then you say you don't trust them since they are not "official"
You are causing a paradox in the argument, and asking for the impossible.

No they are not offical. hence if you provide offical information, then yes, i possibly could trust it. by official what i mean is from national space agencies or government agencies
You are causing a paradox in the argument, and asking for the impossible.
So you are telling me it is impossible to get official information from other space agencies or govenment agencies from outside the usa regarding the tracking of the apollo missions?edit on 11-4-2012 by toocoolnc because: (no reason given)

No I'm not saying that. You can go get information from any space agency today. However, the information (tracking information) that you want there were only 2 official space agencies in existence at that time: NASA and the Soviets.
One you don't trust, and the other, you can't read Russian (or said you can't get it translated). As for who else did tracking and observing for Apollo during the time

That statement makes no sense whatsoever.
Moon hot and cold EXTREMLY.
ISS hot and cold "EXTREMLY" lol.
1/4 the mass of earth.
So the spacesuits couldn't work because the moon was a low gravity environment. Yeah, that makes sense. Not.
And we are talking Apollo 11. The first ever TV presentation of a man in a suit
on the moon.
Artificially constraining the argument to Apollo proves your intellectual dishonesty, thank you.
And never before tested within 239,000 miles of the moon.
Actually it was tested in LEO before they went to the moon on Apollo 9.
Well I never saw a man in a suit during that mission anyhow.
That's because you're not observant.

Look closer.

What was your father's perspective on Apollo 11? Did you discuss with him the American moon landing over the years? My father's reaction was he couldn't understand why Korolev failed in this race. And of course I gave him my opinion why. My father did not discuss [the moon landing] too much.
