First Edition of Earth Photographs from Gemini III, IV, and V; signed by Bill Anders, Frank Borman, and Jim Lovell
First edition of this collection of photographs obtained from the first three manned Gemini flights. Quarto, original cloth, cartographic endpapers, profusely illustrated with full-color photographs. Signed on the title page, "Jim Lovell", "Frank Borman", and "Bill Anders Apollo 8." Apollo 8 was the first crewed spacecraft to leave low Earth orbit, and also the first human spaceflight to reach another astronomical object, namely the Moon, which the crew orbited without landing, and then departed safely back to Earth. Frank Borman, James Lovell, and William Anders—were the first humans to witness and photograph an Earthrise. In very good condition. Ownership inscription.
Although earth-science photographs were not formally scheduled on Gemini III, the astronauts did take 25 pictures, most of which showed cloud formations. On Gemini IV, two scientific experiments, Synoptic Terrain Photography (S-5) and Synoptic Weather Photography (S-6), were notable successful. More than 200 useful pictures were taken, the most significant of which are reproduced in the present volume. In Gemini V, terrain and weather photography was included in a schedule of 17 medical, engineering, and scientific investigations. Guided by the principal investigations of the S-5 and S-6 experiments, Paul Lowman of NASAs Goddard Space Flight Center and Kenneth Nagler of the U.S. Weather Bureau, the astronauts obtained almost 250 pictures.
