Andy Saunders is a bestselling British author, science writer, and one of the world's foremost experts of NASA digital restoration. His photographic work has been exhibited internationally, and regularly makes headlines in the world press - including BBC News, CBS News, Daily Telegraph, New York Times, USA Today, Smithsonian's Air & Space Magazine, Fox News, Discover Magazine and The Washington Post, among others. His remastered images have also been utilised by NASA and reside in their own archives. In 2019 he produced the only clear, recognisable image of Neil Armstrong on the Moon, for the 50th anniversary of Apollo 11. He went on to reveal life on board the stricken Apollo 13 mission, and in 2021 found Alan Shepard’s golf ball on the lunar surface - finally revealing how far the “miles and miles” shot went, half a century after the event. Later the same year his imaging work and analysis helped to solve one of NASA’s most enduring mysteries, by determining the most likely cause of the sinking of Gus Grissom’s Liberty Bell 7 spacecraft, 60 years after the world’s 3rd spaceflight; finally vindicating Grissom. His debut book, Apollo Remastered was a record breaking Sunday Times Bestseller and was shortlisted for Barnes & Noble's Book of the Year. It was awarded Book of the Year in 2022 from Space Hipsters and in 2023 Andy became the third British recipient of the coveted Royal Photographic Society international Award For Scientific Imaging. Also in 2023, Andy collaborated with Tom Hanks, Chris Riley and 59 Productions to produce the immersive show The Moonwalkers: A Journey with Tom Hanks, featuring imagery from the book. He was recognised by the Arthur C. Clarke Foundation and the British Interplanetary Society in 2024 - receiving the ‘Arthur’ (Sir Arthur Clarke award) for outstanding contribution to space exploration, in the category of media, broadcast and written, at the Royal Aeronautical Society, London. As of 2024, his solo photographic exhibitions have been viewed in person by half a million people and 2025 will see the highly anticipated release of the prequel to Apollo Remastered - Gemini & Mercury Remastered. Andy is a regular contributor to science-based media and appears on TV, radio, and as a guest speaker at events to discuss the history of spaceflight, photography and digital image enhancement / restoration. He regularly posts new images on Twitter (AndySaunders_1), Instagram (andysaunders_1) and Facebook (Apollo Remastered) Website - apolloremastered dot com
