    Apollo 11 used a Westinghouse camera. The one in the Lunar Module was black and white. They did have a color camera in the Command Module.

    Later mission also used an RCA color camera as well.

    I then assume the frames per second was thirty.

    Not on the LM camera. 10 frames per second on the black and white. Remember, bandwidth was at a premium.

    It was about 30 fps on the color.

    Any way --- the length of time for the hammer and feather to hit the surface appears to be consistent with the lower gravity.

    Are you trying to prove the moon landing since it seems that many are trying to say it was all faked?

    Just curious --- It seems the experiment occurred on the surface of the moon If on Earth, the length of time would have been shorter.

    I know the people that say it is a hoax say the shadowing looks like studio lighting and they say that it would have been impossible to go through the van buren belt.

    I don't know; but I don't think the Van Allen belt is spherical so a significant amount of radiation can be missed, especially if the Van Allen belt orbital plane isn't coincident with the moon's orbital plane.

    I thought I had the name wrong. Thanks. That is what I am thinking that they are not all that well informed on their facts.
