Abstract: Photographic support provided by Technicolor Inc. in association with the Saturn/Apollo moon project includes documentation, engineering instrumentation, analysis and news releases. All phases of the lunar operation are covered using a number of motion-picture cameras and still cameras. Photographic facilities at Cape Kennedy have grown to keep pace with the rocket research program using special camera-control units on all launching sites. Problems peculiar to a growing operation demand a variety of equipment and a flexible staff. Special explosion-proof boxes are used to house cameras that photograph details of liquid oxygen fumes and structural behavior of the rocket at lift-off. Cameras operated by remote control from a central unit allow varying start and stop times required by specific missile functions. Documentation photos cover components at various stages of the rocket build-up and launch. The Technicolor laboratory at the Space Center is well equipped for rapid processing of motion-picture and still films. A film library and special production staff are included in the program of operations.
