Royal Albert Hall presents Apollo Remastered: An Exhibition by Andy Saunders

Starts: 10:00am
Ground Floor Corridor

Exhibition open days will be Thursday 29 September, Friday 7 October and Friday 21 October, 10am – 4pm.

Meet Andy Saunders on Thursday 29 September, 10am – 2pm. Andy will be available to sign copies of his book Apollo Remastered at the exhibition. Copies of the book will also be available to buy on the day.

To coincide with the release of his book, and the 50th anniversary of our last steps on the Moon, Andy Saunders will present an exhibition of 50 remastered photographs from the Apollo programme.

The original NASA photographic film from the Apollo missions is some of the most important and valuable film in existence. It is securely stored in a frozen vault at Johnson Space Center, Houston. It never leaves the building – in fact, the film rarely leaves the freezer. The images it contains include the most significant moments in our history, as humankind left the confines of our home planet for the first time and set foot on another world.

For half a century, almost every image of the Moon landings publicly available was produced from a lower-quality copy of these originals. Until now…

Andy Saunders is a British author, science writer, and one of the world's foremost experts of NASA digital restoration. He has applied painstaking care and cutting-edge enhancement techniques to scans of the original film, to create the highest quality Apollo photographs ever produced. Revealing detail that has been lost for half a century, they offer astounding new insight and a mesmerising retrospective of humankind's greatest adventure.
