...much more about the moon's mysterious surface than is now known. Another moon explorer under development by JPL and Hughes Aircraft is Surveyor, which will try to make a soft landing on the moon, take closeup pictures and transmit them to earth, besides analyzing samples of moon "soil." Later spacecraft will orbit the moon, photographing its topography in detail while mechanical eyes search for safe landing places for the spacecraft of human explorers. Long before men set foot on the moon, instruments will have made many parts of its surface fairly familiar...
