THE SURVEYOR 4 MISSION

Mission Description

Launch:  14 July, 1967

This mission carried the same payload as Surveyor 3. After a flawless flight to the Moon, radio signals from the spacecraft abruptly ceased during the terminal-descent phase, approximately 2 and 1/2 minutes before its touchdown in Sinus Medii. Contact with the spacecraft was never reestablished.
