Innovative Film Delivery from Space
During a historical satellite program, over 800,000 images were taken using film photography. The ingenious method of delivering film from space involved dropping a canister with the film down from orbit. The canister had retro rockets to decelerate it out of orbit and move it into the atmosphere. A custom designed canister called the film bucket by General Electric separated, fell to earth, and deployed parachutes, showcasing a remarkable delivery method for delicate film photography from space.
