	Surveyor 7 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Surveyor 7 was the seventh and last lunar lander of the Surveyor program that explored the Moon.
		Surveyor 7 was the fifth and final spacecraft of the Surveyor series to achieve a lunar soft landing.
		This spacecraft was similar in design to the previous Surveyors, but it carried more scientific equipment including a television camera with polarizing filters, an alpha-scattering instrument, a surface sampler, bar magnets on two footpads, two horseshoe magnets on the surface scoop, and auxiliary mirrors.

		Surveyor 3 was similar to Surveyor 1, except that it had a "scoop and claw" device with which tests of the bearing strength and consistency of the lunar surface and surface material could be tested.
		Surveyor 5 was the first of the spacecraft to carry a "alpha back-scattering" instrument with which chemical analysis of the lunar material could be made.
		Finally, Surveyor 7 was equipped with both the scoop and claw device and the alpha back-scattering instrument, with the former used to reposition the latter and prepare the surface for different measurements.

	Surveyor program - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		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.

		Global Surveyor, the first of 10 NASA probes bound for Mars the next decade, replaces one that mysteriously disappeared three years ago.
		Surveyor was designed and built in record time to replace NASA's $1 billion Mars Observer probe, which spun out of control -- for reasons unknown -- just days before it was due to enter the planet's orbit in 1993.
		Surveyor carries copies of five of the seven scientific instruments on its ill-fated predecessor, but at $215 million is much less expensive.
