October 2, 2015 at 23:59Thousands of Apollo Photos uploaded to Flickr
Today, conspiracy theorists and their opponents have a great holiday - more than 8400 high-resolution photos taken by astronauts during flights to the moon are uploaded to Flickr. The feature of these photos is their raw versions of scanned original NASA photos.
You can view and download photos from the link to the Project Apollo Archive album .
Kipp Teague from Lynchburg, Virginia, has been working with Apollo photographs for over 15 years. His Project Apollo Archive complements Eric Jones' Apollo Lunar Surface Journal , which offers a detailed description of each Apollo lunar expedition.
Around 2004, Johnson Space Center again began scanning original Hasseelblad photocassettes shot during Apollo missions, and Eric Jones and Kipp Teague began receiving TIFF (uncompressed, high resolution) versions of these new scans on DVD These images were processed for posting on their websites, including adjusting color and brightness levels, as well as reducing the image size to 1000 dpi (dots per inch) for high resolution versions of photographs.
Over the years, Kipp Teague has received numerous questions about images, and which prompted him to process the project archive (Project Apollo Archive) in raw form in high resolution. These new images have a resolution of 1800 dpi.
Unlike the images included in the Project Apollo Archive and Apollo Lunar Surface Journal, the images in the new Flickr album were not processed. The blurry limbs of the Earth and the blurry faces of astronauts are placed in the album side by side with stunning lunar perspectives and iconic photographs of a man’s exit to the moon’s surface. Viewing this photo album creates the feeling of viewing an old family photo album.
The Flickr album now includes only photographs from the original scans of the Lyndon Johnson Space Center, which means that there are no high-resolution images, such as the Apollo 8 or Apollo 13 missions. Over the course of ten years, NASA has mainly requested photographs from the Apollo Lunar Surface Journal, but it has not published any photographs from the Apollo 8 or Apollo 13 missions.
Kipp Teague has requested additional photos from NASA, but is not sure that the space agency has the means to carry out photo-scanning work. At the same time, he received photographs of Apollo 7, -9, -10 and -13 from other sources, and will publish these photos later.
