Lot 934		Collection of Richard "Dick" Underwood: Personal Collection of 10" Wide Spools of Exposed Film From Skylab and Apollo Mapping. Richard "Dick" Underwood was chief engineer on the production of the first topographic maps of the moon. He was the first person to view every photograph from the Gemini, Apollo, Skylab, Apollo-Soyuz and the first 23 space shuttle missions. He also provided technical training to every astronaut who went into space in the twentieth century. Further, he toured the world giving over 1500 lectures on NASA and the space program earning legions of fans. From his personal collection, THREE (3) flown spools of of 10" film mapping. (Two in cannister, one without) The one without a case most likely from Skylab as the images are of Earth and there are time stamps that are not on the Apollo film. The other two, we can only guess they are from Apollo 15 lunar mapping but we unspooled feet and feet of film and could not find a mission imprint. But clearly from an Apollo Command Module and we are assuming Apollo 15. Nevertheless fantastic pieces from the Apollo and Skylab missions and without question, very scarce.
