The Surveyor SpacecraftThe Surveyor program consisted of seven unmanned lunar missions thatwere launched between May 1966 and January 1968. Five of these spacecraft,Surveyor 1, 3, 5, 6, and 7 successfully soft-landed on the lunar surface.In addition to demonstrating the feasibility of lunar surface landings,the Surveyor missions obtained lunar and cislunar photographs and bothscientific and technological information needed for the Apollo manned landingprogram. Four spacecraft, Surveyor 1, 3, 5, and 6, returned data from selectedmare sites from Apollo program support, and Surveyor 7 provided data froma contrasting rugged highland region. For more on the individual missions,select from the list below. The Surveyor 1 Mission The Surveyor 2 Mission The Surveyor 3 Mission The Surveyor 4 Mission The Surveyor 5 Mission The Surveyor 6 Mission The Surveyor 7 MissionEach spacecraft weighed 1000 kilograms at launch, was 3.3 meters high,and had a 4.5-meter diameter. The tripod structure of aluminum tubing providedmounting surfaces for scientific and engineering equipment. Onboard equipmentconsisted of a 3-meter-square solar panel that provided approximately 85-watt output, a main battery and 24-volt non-rechargeable battery that together yielded a 4090-watt total output, a planar array antenna, two omnidirectionalantennas, and a radar altimeter. The soft landing was achieved by the spacecraftfree falling to the lunar surface after the engines were turned off ata 3.5-meter altitude. Operations began shortly after landing.
Surveyor Landing SitesFour Surveyor spacecraft landed in the lunar maria near the equator.These sites were selected primarily because they were being consideredfor Apollo manned lunar landings. Surveyor 7, the last in the series, landedin the highland region close to Tycho Crater, a site chosen primarilyfor its scientific interest. The suitability of each site for making asafe landing was also evaluated as part of the site selection process.
