Two Cameras
On the right, the TV camera sits forelorn, much to the frustration of
the crew, support personnel in Houston, and the glocal audience.
Al accidentally pointed the TV camera at the Sun while he was
positioning it, burning out the vidicon tube. On the left, Al is using
his Hasselblad to document the north
footpad and the impressions it made in the surface during the landing.
Desptie the loss of the TV, the number and quality of the Hasselblad
images Pete and Al took ensured an excellent visual record of Apollo
12. |
