Retro Space HD | NASA Aeronautics and Space Highlights 1981 | AI upscale, Remastered | Shuttle, Voyager 2, Hubble @RetroSpaceHD | Uploaded October 2023 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
NASA documentary about its activities in 1981. It is a partial reconstruction based on the available segments. The focus is on STS-1 and STS-2 (the first shuttle missions), Voyager 2 flyby of Saturn, Infrared Astronomy Satellite, planet Venus studies, Hubble Space Telescope development, Kuiper Airborne Observatory, earth observations, and renewable resource studies.

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 removed or replaced with generic themes from Youtube'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.
