Sorry to be so off topic. I am interested in finding a video or still
pictures from that video that was taken by an astronaut during a moon
landing. It included a view of a Russian moon lander. The video might
have been the personal property of the astronaut. I hope it is
available somehow for viewing. Do any of you know about it?



are you, by chance refering to the Apollo 12 mission where they landed
near the Surveyor 3 spacecraft, (which had landed on 20 April 1967,)
The lunar module landed about 180 meters from Surveyor,
and on the second moonwalk EVA on 20 November astronauts Conrad and Bean
visited the craft, took pictures and removed some parts for return to
Earth. The sample scoop on a pantograph arm projects to the right, the
cylinder just to the right of the center mast is the camera, and the
solar panels are at the top of the mast. This northwest looking photo
was taken by Alan Bean. The Surveyor 3 spacecraft is about 3 meters from
the ground to the highest point on the solar panels. (Apollo 12, AS12-H-
48-7100)
