Clearer than ever

by Diane

New scans of some of the original film shot on the Apollo 11 mission have been made available at the Project Apollo Image gallery.

Images identified with the prefix AS11-40 are now seen for the first time in their clearest and most accurate presentation to date, and are a result of recent work by Johnson Space Center to digitally scan original Apollo film. The process involves removing each original film roll from a double-freezer, allowing it to thaw, then digitally scanning each frame using an Oxberry adapted HR-500 long roll film scanner.
