NASA has operated several cameras on spacecraft over the course of its history.
Apollo Program[edit]
- Apollo TV camera
- Hasselblad "Electric Camera" (modified 500 EL) with 70 mm film
- Maurer Data Acquisition Camera (DAC) with 16 mm film

The camera used two lenses to simultaneously expose a wide-angle and a high-resolution image on the same film. The wide-angle, medium resolution mode used an 80 mm F 2.8 Xenotar lens manufactured by Schneider Kreuznach, Germany. The high-resolution mode used a 610 mm F 5.6 Panoramic lens manufactured by the Pacific Optical Company. The film was developed on-orbit, and then scanned by a photomultiplier for transmission to Earth.
- Clementine, 1994
- Lunar Precursor Robotic Program, 2009
- Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter
- Lunar Crater Observation and Sensing Satellite
- One visible, two near infrared, and two mid-infrared cameras
- Gravity Recovery and Interior Laboratory, 2011

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
