Default What film was used for Apollo missions?

Hi all,

I was puzzled by some comments in these articles about the Apollo mission
regarding the resolution of color film being scanned. Anyone here know
what was being used, and why a 2800 ppi scan would be "well past the
grain" of a 6x6 frame, as is claimed in these articles?
