Digitized Apollo Flight Films Available Online

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the earth-to-the-moon dept.

Pooua writes "SpaceRef reports that NASA and Arizona State University have teamed up to offer all of NASA's Apollo lunar films online at no charge. The images are scanned from the original films at high resolution, then offered as 16-bit TIFF or 8-bit PNG or ISIS files. The project is expected to take 3 years, but some images are already available. The ASU-NASA website is located at the Arizona State University Apollo Image Archive."

    For any interested parties, the Apollo Archive is another great project to put Apollo media online.

    Done years ago. It's why planetologists talk about periods like the Late Heavy Bombardment.
