Andy Saunders

Andy Saunders is best known for making front page, world news with the clearest ever image of Neil Armstrong on the Moon, released on the 50th anniversary of that ‘one small step’. Several months later, Saunders duplicated the feat by revealing a smiling Buzz Aldrin from beneath the glare of his visor in one of the most iconic space images of all time.

Saunders has gone on to become one of the world’s foremost NASA digital image restorers. His work has been exhibited at museums, showcased by NASA, and appeared in The Independent, The Daily Telegraph, BBC News, Fox News, Smithsonian’s Air & Space Magazine, Mail Online, Ars Technica, The Sun, The Express, Astronomía Magazine, and in NASA’s own archives, among other outlets.

In 2022, Saunders published Apollo Remastered, the ultimate photographic journey through humankind’s greatest adventure – the Apollo space missions – including never-before-seen recovered and remastered images of our first steps on the Moon. It was an instant Sunday Times bestseller, and was followed in 2025 by Gemini and Mercury Remastered to create a complete photographic history of NASA’s early space exploration endeavours.
