“All of the instrumented Surveyor spacecraft which have landed on the Moon have been controlled in the final minutes before touch-down by Ryan landing radars. Ryan’s Doppler radar equipment provides the necessary velocity and altitude data to accomplish the “soft” landing.”

~8.5” x 11”. Printed on a lightweight, satin-like, lightly textured ‘presentation’ paper.

Plate number 5 of a Ryan Aeronautical / CMC (Continental Motors Corporation), Wisconsin Motor Corporation presentation portfolio. A really unique and dynamic pen/watercolor (I think) work by Robert C. Kinyon.
An unexpected “WIN” due to finding him at “THE UNITED STATES AIR FORCE COLLECTION”. At:
