拍品专文

173 a
ATS-2 was placed into an undesirable orbit due to a launch vehicle failure but still transmitted this photograph of Earth from an altitude of 10,500 km showing Australia (bottom right), New Guinea, Philippines, Taiwan and China coast.

173 b
The photographs were taken at NASA’s Mississippi Test Facility, a part of the Marshall Spaceflight Center.

Until Apollo, no one had ventured beyond Earth orbit. To achieve this milestone required tremendous propulsion, supplied by a massive rocket: the Saturn V. So immense that its sections had to be transported by water on special barges, the rocket took five years to build and absorbed the know-how and energies of 325,000 people in 12,000 firms.
