. Space vehicle "Surveyor". “Surveyor” is a series of american spaceship for the Moon's investigations, designed for the mild landing from the so-called getting path, which should investigate the lunar surface and choose the landing places for spaceships of "Apollo" series. The "Surveyor" mass on the Earth was 1 tone, after landing on the Moon it was 285 kg. In 1966 - 1968 seven "Surveyors" were lauched. Back .
