Surveyor Moon Landing Craft Clears Final Test
The Surveyor spacecraft completed its final qualification test at Holloman AFB New Mexico after two holds. It dropped from a balloon and landed its pods gently on air filled pods in a 35 second touchdown. The May 30 Cape Kennedy launch is planned with a 6 hour transit to the moon and a two week operational window if undamaged.
