The Apollo 12 lunar module that landed near the Surveyor 3 spacecraft was Intrepid.
Apollo 12 touched down in Oceanus Procellarum on November 19, 1969, with astronauts Charles “Pete” Conrad Jr. and Alan Bean aboard. Mission planners deliberately targeted the area near Surveyor 3, an uncrewed spacecraft that had landed there in April 1967. The precision landing demonstrated that crews could reach scientifically selected sites rather than settling for broad, relatively safe regions.
After landing, Conrad and Bean traversed to Surveyor 3, photographed it, inspected its condition, and removed selected components for examination on Earth. The mission therefore linked a robotic precursor directly to a crewed expedition. The nearby crater is now known as Surveyor crater, and the Apollo 12 landing site is commemorated by the presence of both spacecraft.
A common mix-up is confusing Intrepid with Apollo 12’s command module, Yankee Clipper, which remained in lunar orbit while Intrepid descended to the surface. Orion, Antares, and Falcon were associated with other Apollo missions or spacecraft, not this landing.
