Astronauts Pay a Visit to Surveyor 3

https://www.nasa.gov/image-article/astronauts-pay-visit-surveyor-3/?utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=nn202616 Last week, we asked what unusual event happened to the Surveyor 3 lander after it completed its mission. The answer? It was visited by astronauts. In November 1969, Charles “Pete” Conrad and Alan Bean landed NASA's Apollo 12 lunar module less than 200 meters from the inactive Surveyor 3 lander. To date, it is the only space probe sent to another celestial body that has been visited by astronauts.
