The Flight of Apollo 7 – AI remaster, Color Corrected, Wide Angle Lens Corrected, Documentary, 1967

Restored NASA documentary about the Apollo 7 mission. AI upscale (Topaz AI) was used to improve a soft HD source. While it works in most cases, some artifacts are present in some sequences.

Original in-flight film sequences and photos were replaced with modern sources, matched frame by frame.
Color was corrected by scene. Wide angle lens distortion present on the 16mm DAC footage and on the Apollo TV camera images was also corrected. Sound equalization and noise reduction were applied.

Some TV footage was sourced from the LM5 channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9joNm8jec_JdGF7UBFY2GA

Sound and image cleanup, conversion to original 24 fps frame rate, geometry correction, AI upscale, and color restoration by RetroSpace HD.

============================================
Apollo 7 was the first crewed flight in NASA’s Apollo program. The Apollo 7 crew was commanded by Walter M. Schirra, with command module pilot Donn F. Eisele and lunar module pilot R. Walter Cunningham.

Apollo 7 was launched on October 11, 1968, from Cape Kennedy Air Force Station, Florida, and splashed down in the Atlantic Ocean eleven days later. Extensive testing of the CSM took place, and also the first live television broadcast from an American spacecraft.
