This short is color by fade, but it still holds some gems from the space news of 1966, intended for viewing in schools. A look at the mission of Lunar Orbiter 3 and Surveyor 1, and an interesting glimpse into the techniques of casting models for supersonic wind tunnel testing. This was transferred from my own 16mm archive print using my Eiki Telecine. The Eiki has a 5 Blade Shutter that projects a 24fps print at 30 frames per second for a flickerless NTSC transfer. A special diffusion plate eliminates the 'hot spot' of the projector, and the sound is pulled right from the optical track. Enjoy! Join Team FranLab!!!!

Thanks for uploading. I got the chance to view a rocket launch in 2018. Incredible experience. I shared a pretty fun montage of the trip to my page.
Hi Fran. What an amazing collection you have! How long have you been acquiring these gems? Thank you for preserving and sharing them.
thanks Fran 🙂
The dark side of the moon seems to have a huge hole leading down into the cheesy middle.
I wonder if any of those models still exist. They are works of art. Thanks for what you do Fran x
Sitting in class watching these films as a kid seems like yesterday.
Thanks, Fran. I have vague memories of seeing this in my 5th grade class in 1966.
We are proud of you, Earthlings!
Love how ominous the music was during the moon segment.
I don't think I ever heard about Lunar Orbiter 1 and Surveyor 1…so I will be spending the afternoon learning about that. Thanks Fran!
What kinda troll—thumbs down?
Loved NASA back in the day
Thank you Fran!
Thanks Fran, Hope these get AI up-converted like the 16mm films from The Secret Life of Machines.
Thanks for the great film. 🙂
BEAUTIFUL transfer.
