#OTD 1968, Apollo 9. Schweickart tests the PLSS (backback) for the 1st time. Its very next use would be by Armstrong on the Moon. McDivitt: “Oh!....in your visor, our spacecraft Gumdrop completely all the way down to the bottom of the service module & the whole Earth behind you!”

What a shot - @Int_Machines ' Odysseus passes the near side of the Moon yesterday. It will attempt to land at the lunar South Pole later, at 22:30 (UTC). It would be the first US soft landing on the Moon since Apollo 17 in December 1972. Good luck Odysseus! 🚀

Cernan: “It is absolutely spectacular looking at that Command Module, America...we’re just tracking him at about a 30-degree dive angle. I can even see Poppie [crater], right where we’re going to set this baby down!" 50 yrs ago #OTD Apollo 17 entered lunar orbit #ApolloRemastered

"Farewell Aquarius". Around now, 50 years ago today, the crew of #Apollo13 said goodbye to the Lunar Module 'lifeboat' that got them home. Here's an animation of 13 (I know) reprocessed Hasselblad photographs of the moment it was jettisoned. #Apollo50 #photography #nasa

50 years ago today, #Apollo16 prepared to leave the lunar surface. One of the last shots on Magazine 'F' was badly light damaged as the mag was removed. Restored, it shows a rare posed shot of Commander John Young and the vehicle that never failed them on their 3-day adventure.

A picture perfect portrait of the Apollo Command & Service Module. It was taken #OTD in 1969 by Jim McDivitt from the window of Apollo 9's Lunar Module 'Spider', during the LM's maiden flight. Digitally recovered from under-exposed original flight film.

Happy 90th Birthday Buzz Aldrin @TheRealBuzz ! Processing the 16mm film yielded this cracking new portrait of a recognisable Buzz, visor up, US flag and an epic shadow. Thanks @steveslater1987 of @apollo11movie for providing the best film transfers available. #NASA #apollo50th

Decided to reprocess 2 of my favorite frame grabs from that incredible video sequence of the first ever @SpaceX #Starship landing, into photo-like stills. Just an incredible spectacle to see #SN10 from this perspective. #SpaceX #photography #RealLife Better than #scifi ?

50 years ago today, Apollo 17, EVA-2. The Moon is not entirely grey! The crew discovered orange soil here at shorty crater. We can also see some dark blues Cernan described. 10 digitally remastered frames of original film, stitched into a panorama. #ApolloRemastered
