Stereo Apollo

View stereo image pairs from the moon, in 3D.

The Apollo Lunar Surface Closeup Camera (ALSCC), a custom-built stereo camera, flew on the first three lunar landings of the Apollo program. Astronauts used the ALSCC to take 48 stereo pairs of the lunar surface, for an investigation of properties of lunar soil. Eastman Kodak designed and built the camera in 5 months beginning in January, 1969.

Those 48 stereo pairs are presented here, for 3D viewing. There's also an extensive bibliography covering the camera's design, engineering, use, and scientific results.
