Object Details
- Manufacturer
- Westinghouse Electric Corporation
- Summary
- This black and white television camera made by Westinghouse is similar to the camera used to transmit images of astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin on Apollo 11. Stored in the Modularized Equipment Stowage Assembly of the "Eagle" lunar module (LM), the camera was deployed by Armstrong before he climbed down the ladder of the LM and transmitted this historic moment back to Earth. After the astronauts were both on the lunar surface, they placed the camera on a stand some distance from the LM to record their activities. The original camera is still on the Moon.
- NASA transferred this camera to the Museum in 1972.
