This film transport unit flew with the IMAX camera in the payload bay of the space shuttle on seven missions in the 1980s and 1990s. Perhaps the most notable use of the camera was to film the deployment of the Hubble Space Telescope during STS-31 in 1990, footage that that was also used in the IMAX films Destiny in Space (1994) and Hubble 3D (2010).
Once mounted inside an insulated pressurized container in the payload bay, film and lenses could not be changed. Film was loaded into the camera prior to flight. The transport unit was attached to the bottom of the camera, handling the movement of film from the loaded film magazine into the camera body and back out to the uptake magazine.
Gift of the IMAX Corporation in 2011.
