Shot from the SIMBAY camera this roll shows lunar surface as seen from Command Module. Film magazines had to be retrieved via EVA by Astronaut Ken Mattingly on the return trip to Earth. Canister reads, 'Direct Neg', 'Rectified'. The 610-meter (24-inch) ITEK panorama camera obtained high-resolution panoramic photographs, in both stereoscopic and monoscopic modes, of the lunar surface during the Apollo 15, 16, and 17 missions. The camera provided 1- to 2-meter-resolution photography from an orbital altitude of 111 kilometers (60 nautical miles). The panoramic camera was located in the SIM bay of the service module. Panoramic photographs supported photographic data for the other command service module cameras and for the SIM experiments, scanning the lunar surface from lunar orbit, providing greater area coverage and higher resolution for given regions. |
