Summary

DescriptionSurveyor 1 SP-168 p54.jpg	English: "This remarkable self-portrait of Surveyor I is one of 144 pictures taken during its first 24 hours of operation on the Moon," said W. E. GIBERSON, formerly Surveyor Project Manager, Jet Propulsion Laboratory. It was one of the earliest of the 600 line high-resolution television pictures that the spacecraft took. Initial photographs were made in the system's 200-line scanning mode. "At upper left," continued Giberson, "is footpad 3 (12 inches in diameter), attached to the landing gear and shock absorber. Below the footpad are one of the spacecraft's omni-directional antenna booms, its helium pressurization tank (14 inches in diameter), and the tank's valves, regulator, and lines. "Details as small as a fiftieth of an inch can be seen. Most of the lunar surface particles are even smaller."
