Photographer Andy Saunders’ Apollo Remastered was published to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the very last steps humans took on the Moon. To achieve this, he got his hands on the original NASA photographic film of the Apollo missions, the same ones that all the public images were produced from. NASA worked together with Saunders to remaster these using the latest cutting-edge enhancement techniques.
What they ended up with were the highest-quality Apollo photographs yet, including never-seen-before spacewalks, crisp portraits of the astronauts in their spacecraft and breathtaking views of the Earth. All of these images have zero degradation as seen in all of the reproductions of them from the 1960s – 1970s. More information here. For those who like mysteries, there was allegedly a top secret Apollo 20 mission that took place.

Seeing historians like Andy Saunders produce such cutting-edge results is incredible. . . Not only has Andy done a remarkable job bringing more details to light, but his incredible work has also created a lot of public excitement,” said Dr. Brian Odom, acting NASA Chief Historian.
