First created in 1999, the Project Apollo Archive contains images supplied by NASA’s Johnson Space Center.
Kipp Teague, who founded the archive, said: ‘Contrary to some recent media reports, this new Flickr gallery is not a NASA undertaking, but an independent one, involving the re-presentation of the public domain NASA-provided Apollo mission imagery as it was originally provided in its raw, high-resolution and unprocessed form by the Johnson Space Center on DVD-R and including [images] from the center’s Gateway to Astronaut Photography of Earth website.’
He added: ‘Processed images from [a] few film magazines to fill in gaps were also obtained from the Lunar and Planetary Institute’s Apollo Image Atlas.’
