Apollo Remastered
Apollo Remastered by Andy Saunders takes readers on a mesmerizing, high-definition journey into the unknown, presenting the definitive photographic record of all the Apollo missions. This book offers an astonishing look into one of humanity's greatest endeavours, delivering unprecedented and breathtakingly clear images of space exploration.
In a temperature-controlled vault in Houston, the original NASA photographic film of the Apollo missions has been preserved for decades. For fifty years, the majority of images depicting the Moon landings were derived from low-quality copies of these originals. Now, through the dedication and technical prowess of expert image restorer Andy Saunders, these images have been revitalised like never before.
By utilising newly available digital scans and applying meticulous care along with state-of-the-art enhancement techniques, Saunders has managed to create the highest quality Apollo photographs ever made available. This extraordinary collection includes never-before-seen images of spacewalks and extraordinarily clear portraits of astronauts within their spacecraft. Additionally, the book features stunning new visions of both the Earth and the Moon, all of which combine to provide profound insights into the Apollo missions.
These images invite readers to experience the awe and mystery of space travel as if they were part of the crew themselves. The enhanced visuals reveal intricate details of the spacecraft, the lunar surface, and the remarkable feats of engineering and bravery that defined the Apollo programme.
As Walter Cunningham, Apollo 7 astronaut, praised, "Just incredible. I have personally checked the images in the book, and if you want to know what it was really like on the Apollo missions, then this is for you." Apollo Remastered is not only a tribute to the astronauts who journeyed into space but also a testament to the power of technology and the human spirit.
