Medium format cameras used by NASA astronauts

Abstract

The medium format cameras and other hardware used for photographing the earth from the Space Shuttle are discussed. Illustrations and descriptions are given for the two types of cameras used for most earth photography, the NASA-modified Hasselblad 500 EL/M 70-mm cameras and the Linhof AeroTechnika 45 camera. Also, the data recording modules used on Space Shuttle missions and a mounting device to produce simultaneous photography using two cameras are examined.
