WASHINGTON, Oct. 6 (UPI) — More than 8,400 high-resolution images of the Apollo missions have been released to the public on Flickr, a historian announced.
Kipp Teague, creator of the Project Apollo Archive, recently uploaded new and unprocessed images of the original NASA photo scans of the 35mm photos taken by the astronauts. The images include many already famous ones, but most are random shots taken in Earth orbit, between the Earth and moon or on the lunar surface. Every photograph taken by the Apollo astronauts is now included in the repository, Teague said.
Beginning with Apollo 8, the astronauts wore a modified Hasselblad camera strapped to their chests, allowing them to do in the 1960s space race what many people now do with GoPro cameras.
Teague has been building the photo repository since he started it in 1999.
