  Surveyor 6 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Surveyor 6 was the sixth lunar lander of the Surveyor program that explored the Moon.
This spacecraft was the fourth of the Surveyor series to successfully achieve a soft landing on the moon, obtain postlanding television pictures, determine the abundance of the chemical elements in the lunar soil, obtain touchdown dynamics data, obtain thermal and radar reflectivity data, and conduct a Vernier engine erosion experiment.
It landed on November 10, 1967, in Sinus Medii, 0.49 deg in latitude and 1.40 deg w longitude - the center of the moon's visible hemisphere.

 SURVEYOR - SOFT LANDING LUNAR SPACECRAFT
Surveyor 3 was the first spacecraft in the Surveyor program to carry a scoop-and-claw device with which scientists, by remote control, could dig trenches, scoop up samples of lunar soil and perform bearing-strength tests by pressing the head of the scoop-unit against the lunar surface.
Surveyor 5, the first in the Surveyor series of soft-landers to carry a scientific instrument for analysis of the chemical composition of the moon's surface, successfully landed on the moon at 5:46 p.m.
Surveyor 7, the last spacecraft in the unmanned series of lunar soft-landers, was launched from Cape Kennedy, Florida, on January 6, 1968 at 10:30 p.m.

 Chapter 6 - Manual of Surveying Instructions
The surveyor should neither rigidly apply the rules for restoration of lost corners without regard to effect on location of improvements nor accept the position of improvements without question regardless of their relation or irrelation to existing evidence of the original survey.
In addition it is often desirable to furnish to the surveyor the status of all claims in the adjacent sections of adjoining townships ungrouped for resurvey which might affect the resurvey procedure.
The surveyor should explain that an acceptably located claim must have a form agreeing with the original entry, approximately regular boundaries, an area not widely inconsistent with that shown on the plat, and a location as nearly correct as may be expected from the existing evidence of the original survey.

The Surveyor Program comprised unmanned spaceflights to the Moon, with soft landings, without returning (although Surveyor 6 became the first spacecraft to lift off the moon).
The ability for a spacecraft to make midcourse corrections was demonstrated, and the landers carried instruments to assist with evaluation of the suitability of their landing sites for manned Apollo landings.
The Surveyor Shovel was a project to determine the composition of the Moon's surface.

Surveyor 1 was the first spacecraft from the United States to perform a controlled landing on the surface of the Moon.
As Surveyor 3 came in for a soft landing on the Moon on April 20, 1967, one of its thrusters didn't turn off at the proper time and the spacecraft bounced a couple of times before it came to rest in the Ocean of Storms.
Surveyor 7 landed in the lunar highlands on January 9, 1968, near the crater Tycho.

When considered necessary by the surveyor, thickness measurement is to be carried out and if the results of these thickness measurements indicate that substantial corrosion is found, the extent of thickness measurements is to be increased in accordance with Table IV.

Surveyor II was launched from Cape Kennedy at 8:32 a.m.
A correction trim maneuver was made on 30 December on the 94th orbit which raised the periapsis to 1650 km and changed the orbital period to 11:59:28 so that synchronous data transmissions could be made to the Goldstone 64-m DSN antenna.

The performance of Surveyor 6 on the lunar surface is virtually flawless.
As part of the surface mechanical properties investigation, Surveyor 6 performs a "hop" maneuver, moving 2.5 meters (about 8 feet) away from its original landing area.

The Surveyor program was planned to explore the lunar surface by soft-landing a spacecraft on the moon and conducting a variety of experiments.
NASA planned several possible follow-on programs, including a Surveyor orbital vehicle and a surface rover, but delays in the program caused by booster development failures and the success of the Lunar Orbiter program eventually caused these plans to be shelved.
This subseries consists of documentation on the planned successor to Surveyor, variously termed "Advanced Surveyor," "Surveyor Block II," or "Surveyor Follow-On." Materials are arranged chronologically by study; parallel competing studies are shown with the contractor's name appended to the study name for clarity.
