Surveyor's lunar surface work extended the shadow to fifty feet as the sun neared the horizon. Scientists attempted direct shots toward the corona to avoid atmospheric glare while temperatures swung from 300 degrees to minus 60. The craft fell quiet after an initial burst of good pictures.

Ahead, the Orbiter program will compare photos from lower altitudes to aid Apollo landing site selection.
