What you’re saying has either been already covered on this thread, or is so illogical I’m not wasting my time answering it. “Hardened” cameras? Why “hard”? “Iron foundry”? 230 degrees is plenty hot for plastic film thanks. “Space suits made to dump heat”? Yeah, with steam jets - see any of those on the photos? “Cameras with internal insulation”? Vacuum IS insulation - physical connection of “insulation” would just increase the conduction of heat.

You just make things up. Go away.

Actually, the space suits did use water evaporation from the backpack to cool the astronaut. The heat was transferred to the water, which in turn was allowed to evaporate into space.

I see you did not study physics. Sunlight impinging on the camera bodies would transfer heat to the surface of the camera body. This was alleviated some by reflective coatings on the cameras. Insulation in the camera prevents the heat generated at the surface of the camera from penetrating into the camera too quickly.

“Iron foundry”? 230 degrees is plenty hot for plastic film thanks.

We have pictures of iron foundries, which are hotter than the surface of the moon. If we can do that with ordinary cameras, then it is not such a stretch to use a camera on the moon. The idea of the insulation in the camera and its magazine, plus the use of a film safe in the LEM was to avoid undue temperature rise in the film. It turns out that more pictures were spoiled by static electricity discharge within the cameras.

“Hardened” cameras? Why “hard”?

Had you ever done any reading of aerospace/NASA documentation, you would know that this is a term for making devices withstand its environment. This includes heat, vibration, or radiation.

No, I actually experienced some of it first hand. I also read lots of documentation that was written during the development stages as well as during and after the conduct of those space missions. You are the among those who just make stuff up. Identify what you think I made up, and we can discuss it at some depth.

I know already that you are not a reader, have difficulty grasping technical subjects, and have already made up your mind. Should you decide to educate yourself, go purchase the four DVD documentation package regarding Apollo from http://www.TheHistoricalArchive.com. Those are full of PDF documents that cover the entire project in extreme detail.

Just in case you were up to a little light reading:

Space Suit, Vol 1

Space Suit, Vol 2
