The overall objectives of the Surveyor Program are to accomplish successful soft landings on the moon and to perform operations on the lunar surface which will contribute new scientific knowledge about the moon. The first seven Surveyors are to prove out the design of the spacecraft and obtain scientific information, including the lunar surface information required for later Surveyor and Apollo missions. Mission A is the first engineering test flight of a Surveyor spacecraft, with all subsystems necessary to accomplish a lunar soft landing. Later spacecraft in the series will have the mission objectives of gathering that lunar surface information needed for the Apollo Manned Lunar Landing. While Surveyor A does not have these mission objectives, it will carry a survey television system and instrumentation to measure lunar surface bearing strength, temperatures and radar reflectivity.
