On 20 July 1969, as part of the Apollo 11 space program, Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin became the first people ever to set foot on the Moon. Their iconic 'giant leap' was captured forever by the camera the astronauts carried with them: the Hasselblad 500EL. 'Hasselblad & the moon landing' looks at the history of the Apollo 11 mission through the lens of the Hasselblad and narrates the parallel tale of the challenge to create a camera that could work in space. While the Apollo 11 astronauts left their three cameras behind on the Moon, they brought back film magazines containing 1,400 photographs. The finest of these are shown alongside the mission timeline and transcripts of the conversations between the astronauts and Mission Control. No library descriptions found. |

Apollo 11 crew left their three Hasselblad cameras on the moon, returning only the film magazines, with more than one thousand photographs, to Earth. Many of these photographs are included with mission timelines and transcripts of conversations between the astronauts and Mission Control, creating a unique and compelling commemorative of man’s first steps on the surface of another world.
Highly recommended. (
