May 05, 1967 - Pictures taken by Surveyor 111 after landing on the Moon. Photo shows Lunar material was dumped on white surface of Surveyor's footpad by surface sampler to enable close examination of the disturbed soil under good viewing conditions. Soil was picked up several feet away in sampler scoop and moved to a position above the foot where the scoop door was opened. Volume of the material droped is about two cubic inches, approximately one third the capacity of the scoop. In foreground of the photo is a colour calibration chart which can be used in a colour study of the material. Chart is mounted on Surveyor's leg. The scene was photographed in narrow-angle (six degree field of view) four times. Each time with a different filter (clear, red, green and blue). This photo was taken using the red filter in Surveyor's TV camera
