Surveyor
This is a detail view of the main instrument portion of the
spacecraft. The soil sampling scoop is on the end of the blue
telescoping arm extending below the bottom of the photo. The alpha
scattering instrument is the golden box in the center of the photo.
The only spacecraft to carry both instruments was Surveyor 7 which
landed near the crater Tycho.
