Andy Saunders - Apollo Remastered

#OTD in 1972. Apollo 17, EVA-1.
Gene Cernan checks his cuff checklist, "Take locator photo to LM (Lunar Module)."
The LM is 150m away (centre). Jack Schmitt is left, the rover is right.
This 7 shot stitched panorama is also in @sciencemuseum.org.uk, London - except it's 6m tall and 20m wide!

60 years ago today -
Jim Lovell and Frank Borman were in orbit on Gemini VII, waiting for their visitors, who were still on Earth - the crew of Gemini VI-A.
3 days later, the crews would perform the world's first rendezvous in space.
Wave clouds over the Andes, illuminated like a golden fire:

I did, I helped a little with production. Hope you enjoyed it

Thanks Maria!

Sound ON!
#OTD in 1972, Apollo 17, our last mission to the Moon, entered lunar orbit.

Earthset, narrated by Apollo 17 CMP Ron Evans.

Cover of Apollo Remastered

Hooray, my copy of Apollo Remastered by Andy Saunders finally arrived! I think it's the most beautiful spaceflight book I have ever seen.

I'm really surprised at how many of the photographs are new to me.

Great to see Nick and so glad you like it!

Thank you

Ha thanks Andy!

Nothing planned as yet as far as I know

The Moonwalkers | Tom Hanks | Aviva Studios, Manchester Tom Hanks narrates an epic experience that offers a new perspective on humankind’s past and future voyages to the moon.

The show is also on in Manchester from 16th Dec (factoryinternational.org/whats-on/the...), Houston, Seoul and from next week, Amsterdam (moonwalkers.fabrique-lumieres.com/en/)

3 years ago today - the opening night of our Moonwalkers show at Lightroom, London.
The great David Hockney's reaction as an Apollo Remastered panorama of Shorty crater was revealed on this huge scale was priceless!
The show is finally back in London now!: tinyurl.com/ybmhdzbc

3 years ago today!
And in a few short months, 4 people will be on board 🚀

#OTD 1969, Apollo 12's crew visited Surveyor III (landed in '67).
R: Surveyor crater today - incredible image taken by ISRO (Indian Space Research Org) in 2022. The LM can be seen at 11 o'clock, Surveyor at 4 o'clock.
Check out Bean and Conrad's tracks up to it, then out and around back to the LM:

In assessing other mission imagery, I think ISRO not only captured the shadow of the flag (seen in many other orbital images / sites) but the flag itself! This may be because Apollo 12's flag crossbar didn't work, causing it to droop, increasing its visible area from above:

I've only tweaked the above image but Block crater (1 o'clock) is so clear. Here's a photo taken by Bean from Block crater - Surveyor is in the distance. And we can follow those tracks on the traverse map!

Ah so glad you could get to the exhibition @jodrellbank.bsky.social John, glad you enjoyed it!

The most amazing exhibition today at Jodrell Bank. The picture of Ed White on Gemini IV made me cry @andysaunders-1.bsky.social thank you

Jim McDivitt: "Docking difficult. Neck ring sticks into your throat. Helmet scratched and gouged."
Love finding these extra pieces of information to add context to the historic images. Even the cover!
Found at a recent auction of the flown Apollo 9 LM rendezvous checklist, annotated by McDivitt.

Today on @thedigitalbits.bsky.social website – @billhuntbits.bsky.social reviews the GEMINI AND MERCURY REMASTERED (2025) & APOLLO REMASTERED (2022) NASA photography books by @andysaunders-1.bsky.social! For fans of human spaceflight, it’s almost like being there.
