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..

Hasselbald camera used in apollo program
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.
Ah, sorry, I thought initially you meant the first guy is Michael Collins. Apologies.
