The crew achieved a precise touchdown near the Surveyor 3 probe (which they visited and sampled parts from). Conrad and Bean spent over 31 hours on the Moon, conducting two EVAs and collecting 34 kg of samples. Gordon remained in lunar orbit. The mission proved the Saturn V and lunar operations could be repeated successfully and helped pave the way for future scientific exploration of the Moon.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMedal pictured is the exact one you will receive.
