High Resolution Digital Scans from the Apollo Missions
Image Credit: Apollo Image Archive
The Apollo Image Archive is scanning the film from the Apollo missions into high resolution digital files.
The resolution will be roughly 20 feet, which means that objects larger than this will be resolved when you look at the images. Anything smaller than this will just be a blur.
They are using a high resolution film scanner which produces a huge 1.3 GB raw scan from which you can produce other smaller images.
They’ve also created a web interface to browse these huge files with. It is easy to use and is reminiscent of Google Maps interface. There are only a few scans currently available and I found myself playing around with these longer than I anticipated.
