Nasa at 60: Amazing photos of space exploration released from archives
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.A self-portrait of the mars rover, pictures of footprints on the moon and satellite images of the most remote places in our solar system have all been taken from Nasa’s archives to commemorate the 60th birthday of the world’s most famous space agency.
The collection contains over 400 pictures that show Nasa’s achievements in space travel as well as the humans that have driven them.
Accompanying the photos is text charting Nasa’s past, present and future from the book’s editor, Piers Bizony, and Nasa historians.
The Nasa archives is available now from Taschen.
