Particle impact and optical property analysis of the surfaces of Surveyor 3 materials
As part of the investigation of Surveyor 3 materials, a study was conducted to determine the effect of the lunar environment on some of the painted and unpainted exterior surfaces. Examination of the camera parts and tube sections was conducted using three techniques: (1) optical and scanning electron microscopy, (2) energy dispersive X-ray probe analysis, and (3) spectral reflectance measurements.
