Surveyor 6

  1967-112A

---

Surveyor 6 was launched at 0739 on 1967 Nov 7 by Atlas Centaur from Kennedy on azimuth 83.0 deg. The probe made a two burn parking orbit ascent. It made a course correction at 0220 on Nov 8. Surveyor VI landed on the Moon at 0101:05 on Nov 10 at 0.47N 1.48W in Sinus Medii. (0.47N 1.48W comes from LO photo correlation, 0.44N 1.37W from tracking; final project report gave 0.51N 1.39W).

At 1032 on Nov 17 the vernier engines were reignited to make a 3m high hop, the first rocket launch from the surface of the Moon.
