Foreword This Astronaut's Photography Manual has been prepared by Hasselblad in close cooperation with the Training and Man-Machine Divisions at the Johnson Space Center of the National Aeronau- tics and Space Administration. As a guidebook for the NASA Photography Training Program, it not only describes the operation of the Hassel- blad 500 EL/M cameras used on the U. S. Space Shuttle but is also a concise manual on photog- raphy to assist astronauts in creating the best possible space photographs. Hasselblad cameras have performed with preci- sion on every manned space flight since 1962 and undoubtedly future missions will continue to yield those awe-inspiring and beautiful images from space - a priceless pictorial legacy for future generations. A Hasselblad lunar data surface camera was mounted into the Shuttle Pallet Satellite and operated remotely by the astronauts by means of a radio signal to record images of the Challenger in flight.
