Aeronautics and Space Report 1973 - AI upscale, NASA history, Skylab, Pioneer, Landsat

NASA documentary about its activities in 1973. The focus is on the Skylab station and crewed missions, the Pioneer Jupiter flyby, and the ERTS (Landsat) earth observation satellite. Future projects like Apollo-Soyuz or the Shuttle are mentioned. Topics about flight research and safety are also covered.
AI upscale (Topaz AI) was used to resample the film to full HD resolution. While it works in most cases, some artifacts are present in some sequences.
To prevent any issues, original music was replaced with generic themes from UA-cam's library.
Original footage from NASA. Sound and image cleanup, conversion to original 24 fps frame rate, geometry correction and AI upscale and color restoration by RetroSpace HD.

[@bobamarmstrong]

It's crazy to see that they already had the final design of the shuttle in 1973

This year is the 50th anniversary of the last flight of a Saturn 5 rocket.

Podrías hacer el documental del skylab 3 remasterizado

Fantastic Video would you do Viking launch.
