PostNord Sweden release
50th anniversary of the moon landing

Hasselblad makes history

When Apollo 11 landed in 1969 and the first ever humans set foot on the surface of the moon, it was a historic event.

Two of the three stamp motifs on the minisheet come from photographs taken with a Hasselblad camera. A Hasselblad camera was used for all the moon landings between 1969 and 1972, capturing images of the moon – and also the earth – as we had never seen them before.

Minisheet, 3 stamps, 3 motifs.

Strange they do not show the Swedish Hasselblad camera that was used by the astronauts during the Moon missions.
