Photos of Earth taken by the Moon crew using their iPhones.

NASA has begun sharing the first images taken by the Artemis II crew during their moon landing. Most of these photos were taken with an iPhone 17 Pro Max.

More than 50 years after the last Apollo mission, NASA continued its journey to return humans to the Moon with the Artemis II launch, bringing humans closer to the moon's orbit and the far side.

Recently, NASA released the first images from the Artemis II crew in space as part of its "Journey to the Moon" collection.

Alongside the Nikon D5 DSLR (released in 2016), and several GoPro cameras that are decades old, the Artemis II crew was provided with a special iPhone 17 Pro Max to perform similar photographic tasks.

The released images include several shots of the cockpit, with the crew diligently working on the lunar mission. Other images capture distant views of Earth, taken through one of the observation windows.

The first of four phases involved initial checks of the hardware. Then, the second phase looked for potential hazards, such as moving parts or fragile materials like glass.

Phase 3 involves planning to avoid potential problems from Phase 2. Finally, Phase 4 is to check whether the plan from Phase 3 is actually effective.

The crew used Velcro straps to secure smartphones in the zero-gravity environment. During the launch, at least one iPhone was tucked into a crew member's jacket pocket. For security reasons, the crew could not make FaceTime video calls or play games before entering orbit. NASA added that the iPhone 17 Pro Max on board was a version without internet or Bluetooth connectivity, primarily used for filming and taking photos.
