Description
RANGER 5 (launched on 18 October 1962): set of 6 photographs - 1 photograph showing technicians adjusting the thermal insulation on Ranger 5 (NASA photograph with caption on the reverse, no. 62-Ranger 5-9). - 1 photograph of one of Ranger 5’s solar panels being cleaned by a technician (NASA photograph captioned on the reverse, no. 62-Ranger V-2). - 3 numbered and captioned drawings of the Ranger 5 flight plan, its various phases and trajectories (photographs numbered P-1747, P-1756, and 62-Ranger-6). - 1 drawing of the detailed anatomy of the Ranger 5 probe (photo no. P-1887). The Ranger programme was designed to take precise photographs of the Moon and gather information on the composition of the lunar surface. Nine Ranger probes were launched on an Atlas-Agena B rocket between 23 August 1961 and 24 March 1965. They were produced by JPL, the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (California). Following a number of failures with Ranger 1 to Ranger 6, the programme proved successful from Ranger 7 onwards. All the photographs are original black-and-white silver gelatin prints, measuring 20.5 x 25.5 cm, sourced either from JPL (Jet Propulsion Laboratory) or from NASA.
