Rank 76 documents Ranger 7 — the 365.7 kg JPL probe that ended a string of US lunar failures by transmitting 4,316 television images in its final 17 minutes before impacting Mare Nubium at 2.62 km/s on 31 July 1964. Launched 28 July 1964 on Atlas-Agena B, Ranger 7 carried six B-channel and one P-channel TV cameras that resolved surface features down to 0.5 metres per pixel — live-broadcast to Earth during descent and restoring program confidence after Ranger 6's camera silence. William Pickering and Harris Schurmeier led teams that proved lunar craters were impact structures, directly informing Surveyor and Apollo site-selection strategy.
