Low Temperture

 The Hasselblad cameras used in the Apollo moon missions were specially modified to withstand the extreme temperatures on the lunar surface. The cameras were rated to operate in temperatures ranging from -173°C to 127°C (-279°F to 261°F).The cameras were also designed to be durable and reliable in the harsh conditions of space, with features such as:

  • A special coating to reduce glare from the intense lunar sunlight
  • A heated lens to prevent fogging and icing
  • A redundant system to ensure that the camera continued to function even if one component failed

The Hasselblad cameras played a critical role in capturing the iconic images of the moon landings, and their durability and reliability were crucial to the success of the missions.

It appears only specialty cams go past -10

  • Teledyne FLIR cameras: Some models can operate at temperatures as low as -40°C (-40°F)
  • FLIR Systems cameras: Some models can operate at temperatures as low as -50°C (-58°F)
  • Jenoptik cameras: Some models can operate at temperatures as low as -50°C (-58°F)
