Veig una tendencia sueca per al montatge i desmontatge: Hasselblad, Ikea...
Aquesta és la meva "aproximació" a les úniques càmeres que s'han fet servir a la superficie de la Lluna, obviament amb les missions Apol·lo entre 1969 i 1972.
Es tracta de la Hasselblad Data Camera (HDC), BASADA en aquesta que veieu aquí, la Hasselblad 500 EL/M. De fet, basada en el model anterior, la 500 EL, però les diferencies son menors. La NASA, en col·laboració amb Hasselblad, va obtenir una càmera de format mitjà, amb porta-pel·licula especials de gran capacitat i intercambiables. Es desmontà tot el sistema reflex, eliminant pes i complexitat. De tota manera, els astronautes només podien composar les imatges a ull, des de l'interior dels vestits espacials. Al ser una càmera electrica no cal avançar el rodet, és automatic. L'objectiu també es beneficià de la eliminació del mirall reflex, ja que sobresortia cap al interior del cos. Es tractava d'un Carl Zeiss Biogon f5.6 / 60mm. Jo obviament no el puc instalar, en una 500 ELM normal, pel que hi he inclos un prou similar Carl Zeiss Distagon f4 / 50mm.
El porta-rodets sí que és prou similar, en aquest cas. En comptes dels usuals de 12 fotos en format 120, les cameres de la NASA carregaven pel·licula especialment fina per poder fer fins a 200 imatges. Els porta-rodets no es podien obrir.
La darrera diferencia evident amb la càmera llunar es que aquesta darrera fou pintada amb pintura platejada per minimitzar les diferencies termiques. Altres diferencies menys evidents eren la presencia d'un vidre calibrat (réseau plate) dins la càmera (que imprimia les creus de referencia a les fotos llunars) i un lubricant especial per aguantar el buit del espai i les temperatures extremes.

There's a Swedish trend for assemblies here, Hasselblad, Ikea...
This is my "approach" to the only cameras that have been used on the surface of the Moon, obviously with the Apollo missions between 1969 and 1972.
This is the Hasselblad Data Camera (HDC), BASED on the one you see here, the Hasselblad 500 EL/M. In fact, based on the previous model, the 500 EL, but the differences are smaller. NASA, in collaboration with Hasselblad, obtained this way a medium-sized camera, with special large-capacity and interchangeable film holders. The entire reflex mirror system and viewfinder was disassembled, eliminating weight and complexity. Anyway, astronauts could only compose the images by eye, from inside the space suits. Being an electric camera it is not necessary to advance the roller, it is automatic. The lens also benefits from the removal of the reflective mirror as it protrudes into the body. It was a Carl Zeiss Biogon f5.6 / 60mm. I obviously can't install it, on a normal 500 ELM, so I've included here a fairly similar Carl Zeiss Distagon f4 / 50mm.
The film back is quite similar, in this case. Instead of the usual 12 photos in 120 format, NASA cameras loaded especially thin film to be able to take up to 200 images. These backs could not be opened. This one in the image has the same size, but it in fact uses 70mm roll film in large cartridges, allowing to take up to 70 images in more than 4 m. of film. But this is very difficult to obtain, now.
The last obvious difference with the real lunar camera is that the latter was painted with silver paint to minimize thermal differences. Other less obvious differences were the presence of a calibrated glass (grid plate) inside the camera (which printed the reference crosses in the lunar photos), large controls to be used with space gloves, and a special lubricant to withstand the vacuum of space and extreme temperatures.

Almost 50 years ago the Apollo 11 program and the Saturn V rocket captured the world's attention and demonstrated the power of America's vision and technology. This photograph depicts a view of the test firing of all five F-1 engines for the Saturn V S-IC test stage at the Marshall Space Flight Center. The S-IC stage is the first stage, or booster, of the 364-foot long rocket that ultimately took astronauts to the Moon. Operating at maximum power, all five of the engines produced 7,500,000 pounds of thrust. The S-IC Static Test Stand was designed and constructed with the strength of hundreds of tons of steel and cement, planted down to bedrock 40-feet below ground level, and was required to hold down the brute force of the thrust. When the Saturn V S-IC first stage was placed upright in the stand, the five F-1 engine nozzles pointed downward on a 1,900-ton, water-cooled deflector. To prevent melting damage, water was sprayed through small holes in the deflector at the rate of 320,000 gallons per minutes.

'That's one small step for a man, one giant - hey, wait a minute...!'
The truth's out - it was all staged in a giant aerodrome hangar and someone forgot the sand broom :-))
On the truthful side, Neil did say 'a' man, but it got 'lost' in transmission.

This is my tribute shot to celebrate the 40th Anniversary of the day when man first stepped onto the Moon. On 20th July 1969, Neil Armstrong stepped off the ladder of the LEM (Lunar Excursion Module) on to the Moon and uttered the words that are now so famous "That's one small step for man...... one giant leap for mankind." Buzz Aldrin followed him as the second man to walk on the Moon, one of only 12 men to do so. To create this shot I've used a Vintage Lego Space Crater Moon Base Plate No. 305.

This photo is featured on my blog.
This Apollo 11 image is an Instagram photo before its time. Were the platform to have existed in 1969, the post may have looked a little something like this:
An exciting 13-minute landing, but Neil and I made it safely to the lunar surface. Tranquility Base as serene as her name. Too excited to sleep, we’re on the Moon for crying out loud! Let’s get to work. @nasa
#nofilter #Apollo11 #MoonLanding #TranquilityBase
Of course, this image took much longer to publish. Taken by Neil Armstrong using a Hasselblad EL Data camera, the image had to be literally downloaded to Earth in the Apollo spacecraft before the film could be developed, assessed and eventually widely circulated.
The image was snapped in the early hours of 21 July 1969, a few hours after Buzz and Neil safely touched down on the lunar surface. The 13-minute descent was tense: the lander was moving much faster than anticipated and unexpected alarms flashed from the module’s guidance computers.
But the duo made it, and the rest is history.
In this image provided by the Hasselblad Foundation, Buzz Aldrin is setting up a seismograph. The caption accompanying the Hasselblad company’s release of this image states that neither astronaut fell over in the preparation. However, Neil Armstrong got tangled in a cord but with Aldrin’s help was able to get loose.
More photos will be on display at the Hasselblad exhibition opening at Brunkebergstorg Square in Stockholm, Sweden, this weekend to mark the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 Moon landing. The exhibition is part of this year’s space-themed Stockholm Culture Festival.
On display are iconic images of the Moon and the lunar surface taken using Hasselblad cameras as well as less widely publicised photographs of the astronauts and camera technicians preparing for the missions.
Hasselblad cameras were a mainstay of the Apollo missions. The 500EL models were carried in the Command Module that orbited the Moon as well as the Eagle descent module. The 500EL Data Camera was the first to be used on the lunar surface and was specially modified for its purpose.
The camera featured a Reseau plate, a glass square engraved with crosses to form a grid that was fitted to the back of the camera. The carefully calibrated crosses were 10 mm apart and were exposed on to the film when an image was taken. The crosses helped determine distance between objects in the photos.
Reseau plates were a common technique in photography, albeit on larger cameras. Hasselblad technicians adapted the technique to a smaller format camera, bringing down the cost, a great achievement at the time.
The camera also sported a specially-designed Biogon f-5.6/60 mm Zeiss lens that provided high-quality photos with low-distortion.
To keep the camera’s internal temperature more stable in the extreme environment of the lunar surface, it was finished in silver along with the film magazines.
The camera and film magazines were also fitted with tether rings, attached to a cord, that allowed the astronauts to more easily move them in and out of the lunar module.
After two and half hours of work on the surface and a seven-hour rest back in the lunar module, Neil and Buzz lifted off the lunar surface to join Michael Collins in the Columbia command module to head back home.
ESA is joining the international space community in celebrating the 50th anniversary of humankind first setting foot on the Moon and paying tribute to the men and women who took part in this endeavour, some of whom went on to work in later NASA, ESA and international space programmes. Today, ESA and our partners are busy preparing to return humans to the surface of the Moon. During this week, we will focus on the different lunar missions being prepared by ESA and highlight of some fascinating European contributions to lunar exploration.

July 20th, 1969: The Eagle Has Landed.
A simple shot of my Classic Space magnifigure with a US flag, in front of my celestial matte painting. This was taken indoors with a wide angle lens, since my earlier attempts at outdoor shots didn't work out. On the afternoon of July 20, 2017 I drove to NY Hall of Science to take a photo of this figurine in front of Rocket Park. Unfortunately, there were no good vantage points, and most of the large rocket installations were obscured by trees. I took several shots, but alas you could barely tell there were giant rockets behind the astronaut. I eventually just drove home and quickly took the photo indoors.

Apollo 11 was launched by a Saturn V rocket from Kennedy Space Center in Florida on July 16,1969 and was the fifth crewed mission of NASA's Apollo program. The Apollo Lunar Module Eagle landed on the edge of the Sea of Tranquility on July 20, 1969 marking the first humans to land on the Moon.
50 years later, we celebrate the bravery of this and previous Apollo crews along with the groundbreaking engineering that made this possible! Pioneers, space cowboys, heroes...

My friends drove me up to Lake Balea, which is at 6695 ft above sea level at the top of Romania’s amazing Transfăgărășan Highway. The landscape up there is beautiful; it was July and there were sheep on the mountain, the sun was shining and still large piles of un-melted snow. The road is only open for a few weeks each year.
Its the highest on land I've been in my life so far so I took out my little astronaut figure and photographed him on a rocky outcrop. The figure was in my camera bag, because I’d been looking for opportunities to mark the Apollo 11 anniversary. It's been 50 years since men first went to the moon. How long will it be until we see visitors here and how little or big will they be in comparison to the landscape?
