Complete set, 11 of 11 Pictures, 8"x10" glossy black and white
Surveyor VII was the fifth and final Surveyor probe to land on the moon and was the only one to land on the lunar highlands, January 10, 1968.
Like a kid in a candy store! This envelope was still sealed after all these decades! I was tempted to list it sealed, but thought I should actually verify the contents and that the printings were all correct. So it is now opened and you have a chance to see the pristine prints.

It is staggering to think that the world had barely just seen the first artificial satellite launches, and just a decade later NASA and JPL were able to land probes on the moon which sent back pictures and did experiments paving the way for Apollo landings just a few years later!
These came from a collection of a former JPL employee in Pasadena California.
Used, as-is. Envelope has been opened and has wear and tears. Set of pictures are in like-new condition with only minor aging on edges. See attached pictures.
