Shows the spacecraft’s surface sampler positioned above the lunar surface at the beginning of its first extension
Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: This Surveyor III photograph shows the spacecraft’s surface sampler positioned above the lunar surface at the beginning of its first extension. The picture, taken at 1:50 a.m. PST April 21, 1967, is a wide angle 600-line photograph. The surface sampler is designed to dig into the lunar surface to determine bearing strength and other characteristics of the lunar soil. This photograph was made during initial tests of the surface sampler to determine that it was operable two days after Surveyor III soft landed on the lunar surface on April 19. |
