NASA and its contractors considered adding this surveillance television camera to the lunar module during its development. The camera would have been used to view the lunar surface and to track the astronauts as they worked. The system was never used.
This camera was transferred from NASA to the Museum in 1978.
This object is on display in James S. McDonnell Space Hangar at the Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center in Chantilly, VA.
