“Views of the STS-7 shuttle Challenger taken from the Shuttle pallet satellite (SPAS-01) include: Close-up view of shuttle Challenger payload bay with the Remote Manipulator System (RMS) arm bent in the shape of a seven.”
Above per the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) description/caption linked to below.
A great rarely seen closeup image. I was hoping to see an Astronaut’s face in one of the overhead windows but there only seems to be an external reflection of the Remote Manipulator System’s end effector/wrist area visible in the left window.
20/20 hindsight: The tiles, especially on the bottom of the orbiter, were of concern since day 1. This would’ve been an excellent opportunity – early on – to take a good look. It seems it would’ve been a simple matter to do a flip/pirouette of the spacecraft to allow the venerable Hasselblad camera system aboard SPAS-01 to capture some detailed images. Surely someone must’ve proposed it? Was it considered to be a risky move…due to losing line-of-sight? Isn’t that what the Ku-band radar, seen at the upper right corner of the payload bay, is for?
If brought up/considered, who knows what questionable, convoluted & egregious factors precluded such. Or was it an unconscionable 'head in the sand' mentality/culture? Since, if the tiles were severely damaged or missing, nothing could've been done anyhow?
Note the fondly nostalgic fiducial marks within the image…Long Live Apollo, and to lesser extent, Hasselblad. 😉

"A Grumman Aerospace Corporation artist's concept of Apollo 14 crewmen, astronauts Alan B. Shepard Jr., commander, and Edgar D. Mitchell, lunar module pilot, as they set out on their first traverse. Shepard is pulling the Modularized Equipment Transporter (MET) which contains cameras, lunar sample bags, tools and other paraphernalia. Shepard has the Laser Ranging Retro-Reflector (LR-3) in his other hand. Mitchell is carrying the Apollo Lunar Surface Experiments Package (ALSEP) bar-bell mode."
One of many wonderful works by Craig Kavafes.
Old Toyo 4 x 5 inch View Camera is seen in my studio area at our home at Pinellas Park, Florida, ca late 1970's. This old camera was used for product photography back in the day. It was always nice to work with the large format negatives and transparencies. The lens mounted to the camera is a Commercial Astragon 1:6.3 f-180 lens. This camera was not taken out on photo adventures when photographing trains! This photo was taken with a 2-1/4 x 2-1/4 inch model 500CM Hasselblad camera, with a 120 mm lens..
Edwin E. “Buzz” Aldrin, Jr., is seen sitting in the hatchless opening of what appears to be an Apollo Command Module simulator at – I suppose – North American Aviation’s Downey CA. manufacturing plant, March 15, 1968. The cylindrical, can-like object affixed to the side window may be a projector, to provide simulated views out the side window?
Note the bin in the foreground with a camera (possibly an Intravehicular variety Hasselblad), along with another camera and/or lense(s)?) Possibly to be used for photography training...of simulated views outside the side window?
As of the date of the photograph, Aldrin, Collins & Armstrong had not yet been named as the crew of Apollo 11, which consensus of those in the know has determined, was January 9, 1969.

"Excellent view of the docked Apollo 9 Command and Service Modules (CSM) and Lunar Module (LM), with Earth in the background, during astronaut David R. Scott's stand-up extravehicular activity (EVA), on the fourth day of the Apollo 9 Earth-orbital mission. Scott, command module pilot, is standing in the open hatch of the Command Module (CM). Astronaut Russell L. Schweickart, lunar module pilot, took this photograph of Scott from the porch of the LM. Inside the LM was astronaut James A. McDivitt, Apollo 9 commander."

Interesting discussion regarding the red EVA helmets worn by Scott and Schweickart during this mission:

Hasselblad 500EL Data Camera body, minus the trigger handle, with a Zeiss Biogon f/5.6-60mm lens(???) and additional film magazine. Possibly/probably used during EVA training, as none were returned from the lunar surface (to my knowledge). Photo possibly taken to document wear & tear?
With the proper photo editing software, it looks like the serial number on the film magazine could be coaxed out...and then cross-matched with known and available records, possibly through correspondence with NASA photography curators, and then traced to usage and final disposition...not that I'm suggesting for anyone to do it however. That would be pretty pathetic, right?
"Apollo 17 Astronauts (l-r) Lunar Module Pilot Harrison Schmitt and Commander Gene Cernan practice taking lunar soil and rock samples during an EVA exercise. The last of the Apollo/Saturn missions is scheduled for launching Dec. 6, 1972 from Complex 39A."
John is getting into position to break a sample off a partially-buried boulder on the west rim of Plum Crater. Note that John has both his upper visor and his side visors extended. The Rover is on the east rim of Plum. Big Muley www.hq.nasa.gov/alsj/a16/ap16-S72-41841.jpg and the neighboring anonymous rock are labeled in a detail www.hq.nasa.gov/alsj/a16/a16-17804det.jpg.

Astronaut John W. Young, commander of the Apollo 16 lunar landing mission, stands on the rim of Plum Crater while collecting lunar samples at Station 1 during the first Apollo 16 extravehicular activity (EVA-1) at the Descartes landing site. This scene, looking eastward, was photographed by astronaut Charles M. Duke Jr., lunar module pilot. The small boulder in the center foreground was chip sampled by the crew. Plum Crater is 40 meters in diameter and 10 meters deep (1 meter equals 39.37 inches). The Lunar Roving Vehicle (LRV) is parked on the far rim of the crater. The gnomon, which is used as a photographic reference to establish local vertical Sun angle, scale, and lunar color, is deployed in the center of the picture. Young holds a geological hammer in his right hand.

Al attaches the RTG www.hq.nasa.gov/alsj/rtg_empl.gif
package to the carrybar which will later serve as the Central Station antenna mast. As can be seen in a detail, he has inserted the end of the carry bar into a slightly larger round opening in the lock on what will be the bottom of Package 2 - to his right - and will then pull up on the carry bar to seat it in the close-fitting upper hole. With the center-of-mass of the pallet below the upper hole, gravity will help keep the package secure on the carrybar. He has already secured the carry bar to Package 1, which is on Al's left and, as indicated in the detail, www.hq.nasa.gov/alsj/a12/a12det6791.jpg
holds the Passive Seismic Experiment (PSE), the Solar Wind Spectrometer (SWS), and the Lunar Surface Magnetometer (LSM).

It’s been a few months now since I came into the world of medium format and became a Hasselblad owner. I have to say, its the most pleasurable camera I think I’ve ever owned.
The first time I picked it up I thought the weight might be an issue, not in the slightest. If anything its...

The Hasselblad 2000FCW was the third in the legendary Swedish company’s family of 6×6 focal plane shutter cameras. If you want to be able to use all Hasselblad lenses (including 13 lenses that can only be used with this series and its successor), and if you want to be able to use ...

I kicked off the previous article in this series by stating that in its V-System, Hasselblad created one of, if not the world’s most comprehensive and flexible medium format camera system. Hopefully, this chapter goes some way further towards backing up that claim.

"Charlie is pointing to a sample location on the face of Outhouse Rock. Note that he has a pack of sample bags hooked to his finger. Note that the shadow of the sample bags is orange. This is normal for sunlit transmitted thru the translucent Teflon film from which the bags are made. The photo is sharp enough that we can confirm that Charlie has magazine K ("Kilo") on his Hasselblad and that his checklist is open to pages LMP-30 and LMP-31:
