Description

Official color glossy 10 x 8 red-numbered NASA (AS8-1502575) photo from the personal collection of NASA technician Richard Underwood, who worked in the Johnson Space Center’s Photographic Technology Laboratory for over two decades. The photo, as viewed from the Apollo 8 Command Module, shows the Earth during the mission’s trans-Earth coast. Reverse bears “A Kodak Paper” watermarks. In fine condition, with a faint, clean vertical slice to right border. Accompanied by a signed certificate of authenticity from Florian Noller of Artifact Cloud, and by a copy of the original certificate of authenticity from the Richard Underwood estate. Underwood was responsible for developing the Apollo photographs—in fact, he was the first person to view every photograph from the Gemini, Apollo, Skylab, Apollo-Soyuz, and the first 23 space shuttle missions.
