This 70mm film magazine manufactured by Cine Mechanics was used with a Hasselblad camera during the Gemini program. NASA chose this combination early in the Gemini program for its outstanding photographic quality, and the adaptation of the equipment for use in the spacecraft as well as in the vacuum of space.
This film magazine was transferred to the Museum from NASA in 1970.
