Surveyor M-3

 1966-095A

---

The Surveyor Mass Model 3 mission carried a simple mass model of the Surveyor probe aboard Centaur AC-9 for a demonstration of a two-burn Centaur lunar injection mission. Launch was at 1112:02 on 1966 Oct 26 from Cape Kennedy. Atlas SECO was early. After Atlas separation the Centaur, with two RL10YA3-3 engines, made its first burn for 340.5 seconds, 10s longer than planned, entering a 166 x 166 km parking orbit at 1124. The second Centaur burn was at 1148 UT for 106.3 seconds and left SM3 and Centaur AC-9 in a highly elliptical, 166 x 406200 km orbit. The SM3 instrumentation transmitted for 20 hours.

Launch azimuth was 99.7 SM-3 was 726 kg.
