I'm Samuel G. Solar. Apollo Recovered.

For many years, I’ve been deeply immersed in the photographic and visual record of the Apollo missions, studying, reviewing, and restoring hundreds, if not thousands, of images from the nearly 15,000 photographs captured during the missions.

My work focuses on carefully restoring the clarity and vibrancy often lost in the digitisation of these historic photographs. I also create seamless panoramas from full-frame sequences, many of which aren’t available in any official archive. This work aims to preserve the legacy of the Apollo program and the people who participated in it, recovering the missions' visual record as it deserves to be seen: an unprecedented visual history.

These images are based on the Apollo missions' photographic records', unprocessed scans, and are not official NASA products. The restoration or adjustment work made to these photographs does not in any way or means imply affiliation or endorsement by NASA, National Aeronautics and Space Administration of the United States of America.
