S69-15592 - The re-entry of Apollo 8
|
The final sightings, both deliberate and accidental, of each mission would come during reentry over the Pacific. NASA added camera pods to the Apollo Range Instrumentation Aircraft (later --> Advanced Instrumentation Aircraft, ARIA) platforms, generating pictures such as S69-15592 of Apollo 8 (this one), originally found at "http://science.ksc.nasa.gov/mirrors/images/html/as8.htm"
Numerous bits of debris, presumably from the Service Module, appear as well as the fireball around the Command Module.
Additional pictures by airline passengers exist at least for Apollo 13.
