The Earth Film Project, often associated with various space missions, refers to initiatives aimed at capturing high-resolution images or films of the Earth from space. These projects utilize specialized cameras and satellites to document the planet's surface, monitor environmental changes, study weather patterns, and conduct scientific research.

One notable example is the use of film cameras aboard reconnaissance satellites or space missions, such as the Corona program in the 1960s, which involved launching satellites to capture images of the Earth and its features. These films were then recovered from space for analysis. The goal of such projects is to gather valuable data about Earth's geography, climate, and human activities, providing insights for scientists, policymakers, and the general public.
