Surveyor 3 (and Apollo 12 connection)
Apollo 12
On 19 November 1969 the Apollo 12 Lunar Module (LM) landed within about 180 m of the Surveyor 3 spacecraft. Astronauts Pete Conrad and Alan Bean visited the spacecraft on their second moonwalk on 20 November, examining Surveyor 3 and its surroundings, taking photographs, and removing about 10 kg of parts from the spacecraft, including the TV camera, for later examination back on Earth.
The Surveyor 3 camera is now on display in the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum in Washington, D.C.
