Sure. they tracked automatical probe with TV/radio transmitter.


Go and see a good Australian movie called "The Dish". Then tell me how they
'simulated' the transmission from the moon, especially the bit when the
moon comes over the horizon.

It can't be a satellite: if you know anything about orbital mechanics, you
would know it can't be done *unless the transmitter is on the moon*.
Here's a clue: orbital period is entirely dependent on distance from earth.

It can't be an aircraft; no aircraft could fly fast enough for the change in
the angle of the transmission to be quick enough, especially at low horizon
angles.
