Four views of the lunar surface and the probe's scientific samplers Surveyor 5, 11 September 1967 Four vintage gelatin silver prints on fibre-based paper, 25.3 x 20.3 cm (10 x 8 in), with NASA captions on the verso (numbered 67-H-1288, 67-H-1309, 67-H-1319, 67-H-1330) Footnotes: Surveyor 5 carried the first 'chemistry set' to aid the exploration of the lunar soil. The probe made one of the most significant finds of the Surveyor missions - that the Moon's surface was likely basaltic and therefore conducive to human exploration. Less than two years after the landing of Surveyor 5, Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin set down the Lunar Module Eagle less than 100 km away, and returned rocks with chemistry similar to those measured by the Surveyor
