Shows portions of the spacecraft in the foreground and footpad #2.

Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Picture taken by Surveyor III at 1:05 a.m. PST, April 20, 1967. The wide-angle (25-degree field of view) 600-line picture should be viewed with the data block at the top. It shows portions of the spacecraft in the foreground and footpad #2 – the round object in the foreground. Of special interest is the imprint of a previous impact of the footpad just above the pad. It was made when Surveyor III bounced about one foot after its third touchdown on the lunar surface before the spacecraft came to rest in its final landing site. In the bottom of the depression is imprinted the honeycomb pattern of the bottom of the Surveyor footpad.
