Removeable/multiple  film backs.    ditto Contarex.

The reason it was Hasselblad vs Contarex was the film size.

I think also, it was an issue of what Zeiss, Hasselblad and Leica wished to
do as a business strategy....   I never heard of Leica as chasing Space
business.

Is there any information available on why NASA opted for Hasselblad rather
then Leica on their moon trips?
