Michael Collins (Apollo 11)
Fantastic orbital sunrise over Earth before translunar injection, 16 - 24 July 1969
Vintage chromogenic print on fiber-based paper, printed 1969, numbered "NASA AS11-36-5296" (NASA MSC) in red in top margin, with "A KODAK PAPER" watermark on verso, 25,4 x 20,3 cm
A very rare photograph taken during the first moments of Apollo 11 as the crew was orbiting Earth before firing the Saturn V third stage for translunar injection.
From the mission transcript when the photograph was taken:
001:18:04 Collins: Stand by for sunrise. [...]
001:19:57 Collins: Jesus Christ, look at that horizon!
001:19:59 Armstrong: Isn’t that something?
001:20:00 Collins: God damn, that’s pretty! This is unreal. I’d forgotten.
001:20:08 Armstrong: Get a picture of that.
001:20:10 Collins: Ooh, sure, I will. I’ve lost a Hasselblad. Has anybody seen a Hasselblad floating by? It couldn’t have gone very far, big son of a gun like that. [...]
001:22:13 Collins: I looked... I’ve looked everywhere over here for that Hasselblad, and I just don’t see it.
001:22:24 Armstrong: It’s too late for sunrise, anyway. [...]
001:22:28 Aldrin: But you want to get it before TLI. [Translunar Injection.]
001:22:30 Collins: ...I know it. That’s what I’m worried about. [...]
001:23:24 Collins: Ah! Here it is (the Hasselblad). [...]
001:24:17 Collins: I got a little horizon. Man, look at that! [...]
001:24:51 Collins: Fantastic. I have no conception of where we’re pointed or which way we are or a crapping thing, but it’s a beautiful low pressure cell out here.
001:25:10 Aldrin: Yes, go ahead and take a picture.
