Surveyor Orbiter

---

Status: Study 1965.

Delays in the Centaur upper stage and Surveyor programs resulted in the smaller Atlas-Agena-launched Lunar Orbiter spacecraft conducting the mission instead.

• Ad Hoc Surveyor Orbiter Utilization Committee - . Nation: USA. Program: Apollo. Spacecraft Bus: Surveyor. Spacecraft: Surveyor Orbiter.

  NASA Headquarters established an Ad Hoc Surveyor Orbiter Utilization Committee and MSC was requested to submit names of two proposed members. It was suggested that the nominees be familiar with the mission planning and constraints of the Apollo program. The first meeting was planned for late July.

  On July 29, MSC Director Robert R. Gilruth submitted the names of William A. Lee and William E. Stoney, Jr. He noted that the same two individuals were being nominated to serve as MSC members on the Apollo Site Selection Board. Gilruth expressed a desire that the meetings of the two groups could be coordinated to the extent that travel would be minimized.
