Best Apollo Resource I've Ever Seen

I should quote the bugger next time I reply

On the subject of Apollo resources the My Space Museum page put together by a modeler is a nice compilation of Apollo images and information.

Great site! Btw, if you look closely at his GIF of the Moon going through its phases, you can see the bright subsolar point.

Oh Man!

Thanks so much for the links. What a fantastic scan resource.

I thought I'd offer this one up as well:

www.lpi.usra.edu/resources/apollo/

I love that site.
I'd love to download all the pictures and video to my computer and store them on DVD for reference.
I use Linux and I bet there must be a program that can download whole sites.
If it is legal to do so of course. I'm not sure of the copyright restrictions et al.

HTTrack is a good program for downloading whole websites and NASA images are already released into the public domain so copyright isn't an issue for unedited ones. Also the way the web works means that you are effectively being given permission to create a local copy for personal use of anything that is up on it (your browser does so automatically in its cache).

I'm downloaded that program and am using it now. Thanks! -
After 39 minutes its done 50 megs or so. I'm only doing Apollo 11 for now because I'm afraid of how much data is on the site.
I just hope there's not like 30 gigs or something.

I don't know if anyone has seen this site, but it's reasonably detailed history of the entire 1957-75 period from Sputnik to ASTP.

Better yet, it's all public domain material.

No Doubt youse lot already know about it but I have managed to finally DL one of the bad boys from this site

apollo.sese.asu.edu/METRIC_PREVIEW/index.html

the only suitable word I can Think of is ZOMG!!!eleven!WTFBBQ!

anyone know of a printshop with a decent RIP printer that could turn these into Wallpaper for my flat so I can do the walls and ceiling.

I'm simply amazed I didn't know about this!

eol.jsc.nasa.gov/

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: eol.jsc.nasa.gov/scripts/sseop/photo.pl?mission=AS15&roll=87&frame=11839&QueryResultsFile=115755643635482.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.

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

It appears that the hi-res image download site has changed a bit since this thread was started. Any chance a modified tutorial could be posted? I posted the link as a free image resource in my Illustration class last week, and a link to this thread as a tutorial. I'm afraid some of the students won't be able to figure it out.

Try this...

Go to the page eol.jsc.nasa.gov/

Mouse-over Find Photos --> Search --> click on Mission-Roll-Frame

That brings you to this page 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 ( eol.jsc.nasa.gov/scripts/sseop/photo.pl?mission=AS15&roll=87&frame=11839&QueryResultsFile=11923405133281.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 ( eol.jsc.nasa.gov/scripts/sseop/QuickView.pl?directory=ISD&ID=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.
