Surveyor

The Surveyor Spacecraft landed on the Moon before the Apollo missions in order to study the surface characteristics as well as places that Apollo might not be able to get to. The Surveyor 3 spacecraft was even visited by the Apollo 12 astronauts. They brought back the scoop and the television camera that it carried to study the longterm affects of exposure to the lunar environment. This exhibit hangs above the LM and right next to the Lunar Orbiter spacecraft. This image was taken at 22mm focal length with an expsoure of 1/160 seconds at f/5.6, ISO 1600.
