NASA Shares Photos Shot on iPhone 17 Pro Max During Artemis II Mission to the Moon

[MacRumors]

NASA has shared three incredible photos shot on the iPhone 17 Pro Max by astronauts during the Artemis II mission to the Moon.

In February, NASA announced that the iPhone had been fully qualified for extended use in orbit, with reports indicating that each of the four crew members aboard the Orion are equipped with an iPhone 17 Pro Max for personal photos and videos.

The photos show Artemis II's Commander Reid Wiseman and Mission Specialist Christina Koch looking back at Earth through one of the Orion spacecraft's main cabin windows. Flickr data indicates that these photos were shot with the iPhone 17 Pro Max's front camera on April 2, which was the second day of the mission.

All other photos from the mission shared so far were captured with other cameras, such as the Nikon D5, Nikon Z 9, and GoPro HERO4 Black.

Artemis II is NASA's first crewed mission to the Moon since 1972. The crew is expected to reach the far side of the Moon on Monday, breaking the all-time record for the farthest distance traveled from Earth by humans. However, the Orion is not capable of landing on the Moon and is set to return to Earth on April 10.

Fool me once NASA... 😆

I’ve always wondered what the Geotag information would say if the photo was taken from space

Very very cool!
Godspeed Artemis II

IMO it’s not a great thing to advertise. I absolutely despise these recent iPhone cameras simply because of all the instant editing, some pics come out not looking at all like the subject. I find myself taking a screenshot with the camera app open way more than I should and I’d really appreciate an option to turn it off and take a normal picture. I’m not the only one either, apparently Snapchat does it but I don’t really use it

It would be malpractice for Apple NOT to tout this at the next chance they get. And for the people complaining about objectively cool things accomplished by humanity: log off.

 

[Apple_Robert]

Very cool. Once in a lifetime photos taken with a phone many take for granted. I hope all return home safely.

Nice!

Pic on the Nikon is a lot better, as one would expect.

This program is so so cool!
So many great pics on the Flickr

That’s pretty darn cool. I wonder what kind of testing they did.

I want to hear flat earthers try to explain away these pictures.

 

[BvizioN]

Any flat Earthers around here? 😀

Was there no Android device that was "fully qualified for extended use in orbit"? Next they're going to say that Pizza Hut is the official pizza of the Artemis II team.

I hope that phone is in Airplane Mode.

They’ll claim it’s AI. You know they will.

I honestly didn't anticipate that. There's no way AI can make pictures that realistic.......yet.

Considering when I was a kid, my dad flew home to NY from Singapore via London and the Middle East and the rest of the family flew from Singapore via Hong Kong and San Francisco and we arrived at the same time, kinda makes the flat earth idea hard to defend.

Somewhere Steve Jobs is smiling. This is the kind of epic advertising for Apple he always loved. 🌎 🍏

 

[darkblu]

I'm glad they had a D5 at that moment.

"three incredible photos"? I'm not being sarcastic but those 3 pix are not incredible in the slightest. They're pretty blah if you ask me. What would have been more incredible is if one of the astronauts had recorded in 4k on the iPhone lifting off the ground and going into space. Mount the iPhone somewhere with a $17 suction cup thingy you can find anywhere on Amazon.

Y’all still with this nonsense ?

 

[jarman92]

Damn, can't pay for that kinda product placement!

Also that first pic looks like it's displayed on an iPhone 5, with the antenna bands and everything 😅

I don’t use the camera but isn’t there a raw option ?
