Surveyor 7 Performs Critical Midcourse Maneuver
Surveyor 7, the United States last unmanned moon probe, executed a midcourse retrorocket burn at 3:30 p.m. to adjust its path toward the Tycho crater landing site. The 11.3 second burn altered the trajectory by about 800 miles, with a second refinement planned to aim for a 12.4 mile diameter target. If the landing succeeds, the mission would yield substantial scientific data from its suite of tools including a television camera and a tiny power shovel.
