NASA keeps the original film negatives from the Apollo program sealed in a frozen vault in Houston, TX and rarely grants access to them. As a result, nearly all of the photos we see of those historic missions were made decades ago or are copies of copies. Recently, the film was cleaned and digitally scanned at “an unprecedented resolution”.
The 2019 “Apollo 11” documentary used a lot of new/remastered footage (70mm for much of it), with cooperation with NASA and the National Archives.
