Lot 10
A large-format vintage gelatin silver print, medium resolution, numbered NASA LRC I-112M, captioned in margins. 51 x 61cm (20 x 23 ½ inches), image 48 x 53cm (19 x 21 inches) This is a stunning image of the Earth as seen from the lunar orbit. Most of what can be seen on the Moon is the far side with the Tsiolkovsky crater prominently featured in the medium resolution image. This second earthrise image (Frame 117) was taken on 25 August 1966 at 13:02:05 GMT, two days after its twin and the first famous image of the Earth (Frame 102). Both photographs show similar composition and viewing angles. Both pictures were not included in the original mission plan. Taking these images required that the spacecraft's attitude in relation to the lunar surface be changed so that the camera's lenses were pointing away from the Moon. Such maneuvering meant a calculated risk and, coming early in the flight, the unplanned photograph of Earth raised some doubts among Boeing management about the safety of the spacecraft - especially on the very first Lunar Orbiter mission. Condition Report: Overall very good condition with clean image area. Front: corner creases affecting approx. 2 x 1 cm area in each corner; a crease to the left edge approx. 15 cm long, 0.5 cm from the edge; four minor creases to the image (image intact) Reverse: very slight age toning and minor soiling, otherwise good.

Viewing is recommended and available remotely or in person. Collection includes: Approximately fifty gridded cloud images of the Earth by various TIROS and ESSA satellites. Among the photographs there are picture mosaics prepared from picture signals transmitted by the satellite spacecrafts as well as images of specific weather conditions as observed and captured by the satellites (such as Hurricane Inez over Haiti, 1966). 25.5 x 20.5 cm (10 x 8 inches); approximately twenty on A KODAK PAPER watermarked stock; stamped or captioned on the reverse by ESSA (Environmental Science Services Administration)/National Environmental Satellite Center.

Ten small format photographs, images by TIROS and ESSA. A group of twenty five assorted printed articles, all related to the development and launch of the weather satellites, including press releases and fact sheets by RCA and ESSA as well as other promotional and didactic books and booklets. Viewing recommended. The 1960s saw landmark developments in the studies of atmospheric and meteorological phenomena. NASA's first experimental step in establishing whether satellites could become useful in observing and forecasting the weather conditions was TIROS programme. Launched by NASA in 1960, TIROS-1 satellite it was the first successful weather satellite. By 1962 it provided a continuous coverage of the Earth's weather conditions and paved way to NIMBUS programme. In 1965 the Environmental Science Services Administration was created, and its mission was to oversee all of the U.S. operations in the areas of climate, meteorology, hydrology and geodesy. It inherited NASA's weather satellite programme and cooperated with NASA in further research and development of weather satellites. Its ESSA programme was the continuation of NASA's TIROS programme.
