Description
This page provides links to the-Moon Wiki pages describing the [/Apollo%20program Apollo] land sites and the lunar feature [/Landing%20site%20name names] associated with them, as well as feature names associated with several other lunar landings.
Additional Information
- There are many web resources related to the [/Apollo%20program Apollo flights], as well as several that provide a graphic orientation as to the exact locations on the Moon at which the landings were made. Three good examples of the latter, which "drill down" from distant to very close-range aerial photos, are:
- The Landing Site pages in the LPI's Apollo Missions presentation.
- James R. Zimbelman's Apollo Landing Sites slide show.
- Exploring the Apollo Landing Sites by Dan Durda.

Surveyor Missions
There were seven Surveyor missions; five were successful. Surveyors 2 and 4 failed. Each consisted of a single unmanned spacecraft designed and built by Hughes Aircraft Company.
- Surveyor 1 - Launched May 30, 1966; landed on [/Oceanus%20Procellarum Oceanus Procellarum], June 2, 1966
- Surveyor 2 - Launched September 20, 1966; crashed near [/Copernicus Copernicus crater], September 23, 1966
- Surveyor 3 - Launched April 17, 1967; landed on [/Oceanus%20Procellarum Oceanus Procellarum], April 20, 1967
- Surveyor 4 - Launched July 14, 1967; crashed on [/Sinus%20Medii Sinus Medii], July 17, 1967
- Surveyor 5 - Launched September 3, 1967; landed on [/Mare%20Tranquillitatis Mare Tranquillitatis], September 11, 1967
- Surveyor 6 - Launched November 7, 1967; landed on [/Sinus%20Medii Sinus Medii], November 10, 1967
- Surveyor 7 - Launched January 7, 1968; landed near [/Tycho Tycho crater], January 10, 1968
