Hasselblad and the NASA
Using Hasselblad cameras, American astronauts took photographs of the surface of the Moon which will forever remain the most famous photographs of the 20th century. That is History.
And as it is the case with most major historical events, there are some unanswered questions.
The one I am interested in today is: how many Hasselblad cameras did the NASA used during Mercury, Gemini and Apollo missions ?
NASA and Hasseblad book
Sun, 01/10/2010 - 12:02 — adminI am preparing a book about the collaboration between NASA and Hasselblad from 1962 till the end of the Apollo program in 1972.
I am looking for any kind of data about 500C, SWC and 500 EL cameras used by NASA: how they were prepared, technically modified and enhanced, some photographs, Hasselblad serial numbers and NASA numbers ...
I would also like to make an inventory of Hasselblad cameras in museums and private collections around the world.
All photographs published in my book will show "Collection of" with your name or simply "Private collection" as per your instructions.
