Moon : vintage and historical

This series of photographs includes images of the moon taken by the various space programs launched by NASA during the 60s and 70s. Two were taken during the Apollo 14 and Apollo 16 missions, including a stay on the moon. The others were taken by space probes from the Lunar Orbiter and Surveyor programs. These photographs are therefore precious testimonies of the first lunar explorations. In addition to the scientific importance of these images, there is an invaluable historical value.
