	surveyor 3 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Surveyor 3 was the third lunar lander of the Surveyor program that explored the Moon.
		On the third impact -- from an initial altitude of 11 feet (3 m) and velocity of zero which was under the original design target of 14 ft (4.3 m) slowly descending -- the spacecraft settled in a soft landing as per the design intentions.
		Several components of the Surveyor were collected and returned to Earth for study of the long term exposure effects of the harsh lunar environment on human artifacts.

		3 at 9) to remove the requirement that a request be in writing, further suggesting that this requirement was imposed on residents or their representatives at the time of the survey.
		The surveyor alleged that resident 19 stated "She (the CNA) almost knocked me down." The CNA indicated to the surveyor that she was aware what had occurred, but she did not acknowledge this by checking resident 19 for injuries, nor did she apologize to resident 19.
		However, when the State surveyor first explained the reason for citing this as a deficiency, she stated that the record for the bowel and bladder retraining program was incomplete or not documented, which may have meant that the resident was not offered a bedpan on the shift.

		The Surveyor 3 spacecraft was launched in April 1967 and was exposed on the lunar surface for 31 months before the Apollo 12 mission.
