I'm simply amazed I didn't know about this!
*Modified 24/10/07*
I have written a script that removed the need for all these steps, simply goto http://www.landingapollo.com/apollo.php and enter the roll number and frame number then press submit
Try this...
Go to the page http://eol.jsc.nasa.gov/
Mouse-over Find Photos --> Search --> click on Mission-Roll-Frame
That brings you to this page http://eol.jsc.nasa.gov/sseop/mrf.htm
You have a few options...
Option 1 1. Click on a specific mission from the window on the left 2a. Click "Run Query" at the bottom of the page to see a list of all images available from that mission 2b. Enter the Roll number and frame number(s) (max 2 at a time) in the spaces provided 3. Click "Run Query" at the bottom of the page to see the info / thumbnail page for those pics.
or Option 2 1. If you know that specific photo you are looking for, enter the photo reference number in the box on the right using the Mission-Roll-Frame naming format (example: AS15-87-11839. The instructions on the page say you can use spaces or line breaks between the data, but it seems that using a hyphen is the best way to go.) You can enter up to 100 different photo names at a time in this window.This will take you to a page with links (assuming the pic is available in the database) for the pic you are requesting. 2. Clicking on the Frame Number link will take you a page with the moderate sized pic plus links for larger images ( http://eol.jsc.nasa.gov/scripts/sseop/ph....23405133281.tsv ). 3. Clicking on Quick View will take you to a moderate sized version of the pic, with no other links for other image sizes ( http://eol.jsc.nasa.gov/scripts/sseop/Qu....D=AS15-87-11839 ). There is a link underneath the picture ("See all metadata, images and captions.") that will also take you to the page with the links for the larger pics.

1) Click on Find Photo's 2) Click on Other Search Methods 3) Choose your mission (Apollo is near the bottom) I chose Apollo 15 4) Put in your roll number 87 for example and Frame 11839 5) Go down to All digital images including those that have not yet been cataloged and make sure the radio button is selected 6) Click the run query button at the bottom of the page
You're presented with Quick View MISSION ROLL FRAME GEON FEAT LAT LON TILT CLDP YYYYMMDD FCLT IMAGE AS15 87 11839
Click the frame number which is a hyperlink
7) You are presented with this page: http://eol.jsc.nasa.gov/scripts/sseop/ph....5643635482.tsv
Hold onto your seats guys cause it's about to get awesome. Scroll down to Large Images to Request for Downloading. Then hit request. You have just requested an ultra high resolution picture of the frame you chose. Even higher than ALSJ.
ftp://eol.jsc.nasa.gov/ISD_highres_AS15_AS15-87-11839.JPG
As far as I have seen so far this has the high resolution photograph of every single frame taken including the ones that ALSJ don't have the high resolution images of
The one I used in this example was the pictures on LM footpad picture. Oh look, you can quite clearly see in this picture that the 'pictures' are indeed just foil.
Enjoy fellow Apollo Enthusiasts  |

Thanks for the heads up. That is indeed a great scan.

And on top of that, every picture ever taken can be found in a high resolution!

As long as we're talking about Apollo resources, let me tout Bob Andrepont's Space PDF compilation, with links to online versions of many space documents. Very, very handy, and saves a lot of time wading through the NASA Technical Reports Server.

Shouldn't this thread be in the "Reality of Apollo" forum?

Why? Don't hoax believers do research?

Sure. But using that rationale, many of the threads in the "Reality of Apollo" forum should be moved to the "Hoax" forum.

Good pic! The original photo was only 70mm. This is like poster size.
Even better than the LPI archive (though LPI is great for quickly searching through the inventory of photos for choosing what photo you want, which is incidentally what it was designed for).

One other thing to note. When the image is compressed, the fiducials get a bit lost. Ho ho!

Speaking of Apollo resources. Are there any websites that have a collection of all the videos taken during the missions? I know the Apollo Surface Journal has a bunch, but they don't appear to have any footage taken during the trip to and from the moon, just the stuff on the surface (I guess that's why it's called the Apollo Surface Journal)
I'm kind of surprised that there isn't a site with the whole collection of Apollo footage out there, or if there is, I can't find it.
Thanks.

I believe that the Apollo Flight Journal has at least some of what you are looking for.

"Cheer up!" they said, "It could be worse!" So I did, and it was.

Only by an unnecessarily broad definition of the word "contribute"...

For once, I agree with the sponge...
