Delta Studio and National Geographic have teamed up to bring the new documentary “APOLLO: Missions to the Moon” onboard Delta aircraft in advance of its July premiere on National Geographic.
The documentary, which celebrates the 50th anniversary of the historic first crewed moon landing on 20 July, 1969, has been exclusively available onboard Delta throughout June and will premiere on National Geographic on Sunday, 7 July, launching Space Week, the network’s week-long programming event.
The two-hour documentary features newly transferred footage and never-before-heard audio to recount the groundbreaking, key moments of America’s journey to land on the moon before 1970. With no narration nor modern-day talking heads, the missions are experienced entirely through archival TV footage, rediscovered radio broadcasts, home movies, NASA film and mission-control audio to create an eyewitness-like, immersive experience.
