Mission Name: Surveyor 1Strain gauges were mounted on each leg shock absorber to record the peak axial forces at landing impact of the spacecraft. They were designed to accept a force of approximately 800 kg. The experiment returned excellent analog force vs time traces during the touchdown of the satellite.
