Lackadaisical  attitude  of  the  BSNL  chaps  here  in  NE  keeps  my  internet  connection  in  suspended  animation  every  second  day . Apologies  to  everyone  for  the  delay .

Pic  A  shows  Victor  Hasselblad , the  man  behind  the  Swedish  company  Hasselblad  Cameras . In  1966 , Michael  Collins , during  a spacewalk , dropped  his  Hasselblad  SWC  and  this  was  widely  publicised  as  ”Sweden’s  first  ever  satellite” :-) . Pic  B  shows  Viking , the  first  ever  Swedish  satellite  launched  in  1986 . And  therein  lies  the  connect .

Goes  uncracked !

    First photo: small camera on earth
    Second photo: HUUUUGE camera in outer space

    A -> Victor Hasselblad demonstrating the way to hold a camera using a strap with the waist-level finder, says a website
    B -> SPOT, an earth observation satellite

    So I’m guessing they use Hasselblad cameras in the satellite, just like they did during apollo moon landing..

    Bernal and his satellite idea?

    Hasselbald camera used in apollo program

  6. Arun Hiregange says:

    The person with the camera is probably Michael Collins the Irish politician, rather than the American astronaut, can you check?
    Though that in no way changes the question, truly speaking. :)

  7. Arun Hiregange says:

    Ah, sorry, I thought initially you meant the first guy is Michael Collins. Apologies.
