COSMIC MESSAGE

In September 1967, the Surveyor 5 lander slid several feet while making a successful soft landing on the Moon's Mare Tranquillitatis. Equipped with television cameras and soil sampling experiments, US Surveyor spacecraft determined if lunar surfaces were safe for planned Apollo landings. Surveyor 5 touched down on the inside edge of a small crater inclined at about 20 degrees. Its footpad slipped and dug into the lunar regolith.
