Surveyor I Faces Risk From Lunar Night Freeze
Pasadena AP reports Surveyor I, the first U S lunar lander, could go permanently blind if its systems fail in the extreme lunar night. The craft, after sending more than 10 000 high quality photos, must endure weeks of darkness with temperatures near 260 degrees below zero Fahrenheit. Weathering the cold could damage its battery and end its mission.
