Prior to the establishment of a manned lunar observatory or base, it is essential that a compendium of information be available on the environment, composition, structure, and topography of the moon. In an effort to satisfy this need for improved and detailed information, NASA has undertaken a lunar program which ranges from the utilization of circumlunar flight vehicles, equipped with automatic photographic and radiation measuring equipment which responds to commands from the earth, to actual determination of surface composition and features obtained from unmanned instrumented spacecraft which impact the moon.
