Came across a bit of history in the book "Out of This World".  It
seems that during Gemini 10, in 1966, astronaut Michael Collins
(the same one that ran the Command Module for Apollo 11) accidentally
let go of his Hasselblad camera.  It drifted off into earth orbit,
where it presumably remains, thereby giving the company its very
own Earth satellite.  This was quite a coup for them, of course...
