Wally Schirra used a camera like this one on his Mercury Sigma 7 mission. The Swedish company Hasselblad has perhaps the longest history of supplying NASA with superior camera equipment. Parts that could create a static charge-dangerous in the spacecraft's high oxygen environment-were removed from space cameras, some of the only modifications made to make commercial cameras usable in space.
NASA transferred this camera to the Museum in 1977.
