surprog_v_bw_o_n (full-scale model, ca 1961)
Early (1961) full-scale Surveyor model at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory...festooned, bristling even, with a host of cool instruments & experiments - most never to be incorporated - like a neutron activator, lunar drill, slowly driven geophysical probe...probably even a Deutronium-fueled flux capacitor...coupled with an advanced Dilithium-impregnated Corbomite core.
7" x 9".
Odd press slug on the verso. "GAP FILLER"...huh/WTF?
Great labeled version of a similar photo, and, as usual, a very well written article at:
