Hand OCTOBER 1971 CAMBRIDGE, MASSACHUSETTS, 02139 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This report was prepared under DSR Project 55-23890, sponsored by the Manned Spacecraft Center of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. The description of project management was prepared by James A. Hand and is based, in large part, upon discussions with Dr. C. Stark Draper, Ralph R. Ragan, David G. Hoag and Lewis E. Larson. Robert C. Millard and William A. Stameris also contributed to this volume. The publication of this document does not constitute approval by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration of the findings or conclusions contained herein.

S. A., 1972 ii The title of these volumes, “;LJI’I”s Role in Project Apollo”, provides but a mcdest hint of the enormous range of accomplishments by the staff of this Laboratory on behalf of the Apollo program. Rlanss rush into spaceflight during the 1060s demanded fertile imagination, bold pragmatism, and creative extensions of existing tecnnologies in a myriad of fields, The achievements in guidance and control for space navigation, however, are second to none for their critical importance in the success of this nation’s manned lunar-landing program, for while powerful space vehiclesand rockets provide the environment and thrust necessary for space flight, they are intrinsicaily incapable of controlling or guiding themselves on a mission as complicated and sophisticated as Apollo.

    Microprocessor History Lession MICROPROCESSORS AND MICROCONTROLLERS I 1 1947 Electronics: William Shockley, John Bardeen and Walter Brattain build the first practical point-contact transistor at Bell Labs 2 Apollo Guidance Computer (AGC) makes its debut 1960s Early Embedded System 3 Apollo Guidance Computer Designed by scientists and engineers at MIT’s Instrumentation Laboratory, the Apollo Guidance Computer (AGC) is the culmination of years of work to reduce the size of the Apollo spacecraft computer from the size of seven refrigerators side-by-side to a compact unit weighing only 70 lbs. and taking up a volume of less than 1 cubic foot. The AGC’s first flight was on Apollo 7. A year later, it steered Apollo 11 to the lunar surface. Astronauts communicated with the computer by punching two-digit codes into the display and keyboard unit (DSKY). The AGC was one of the earliest uses of integrated circuits, and used core memory, as well as read-only magnetic rope memory. The astronauts were responsible for entering more than 10,000 commands into the AGC for each trip between Earth and the Moon. 4 5 There is no consensus on who invented the IC. The American press of the 1960s named four people: Kilby, Lehovec, Noyce and Hoerni; in the 1970s the list was shortened to Kilby and Noyce. Kilby was awarded the 2000 Nobel Prize in Physics "for his part in the invention of the integrated circuit". In the 2000s, historians Leslie Berlin, Bo Lojek and Arjun Saxena reinstated the idea of multiple IC inventors and revised the contribution of Kilby.

  • Block I Apollo Guidance Computer (AGC)
    Block I Apollo Guidance Computer (AGC) How to build one in your basement Part 1: Overview John Pultorak December, 2004 Abstract This report describes my successful project to build a working reproduction of the 1964 prototype for the Block I Apollo Guidance Computer. The AGC is the flight computer for the Apollo moon landings, and is the world’s first integrated circuit computer. I built it in my basement. It took me 4 years. If you like, you can build one too. It will take you less time, and yours will be better than mine. I documented my project in 9 separate .pdf files: Part 1 Overview: Introduces the project. Part 2 CTL Module: Design and construction of the control module. Part 3 PROC Module: Design and construction of the processing (CPU) module. Part 4 MEM Module: Design and construction of the memory module. Part 5 IO Module: Design and construction of the display/keyboard (DSKY) module. Part 6 Assembler: A cross-assembler for AGC software development. Part 7 C++ Simulator: A low-level simulator that runs assembled AGC code. Part 8 Flight Software: My translation of portions of the COLOSSUS 249 flight software. Part 9 Test & Checkout: A suite of test programs in AGC assembly language. Why build an AGC? Early computers are interesting. Because they’re simple, you can (if you like) actually understand the entire computer, from hardware to software. The AGC is the most interesting early computer because: a) it flew the first men to the moon; and b) it’s the world’s first integrated circuit (IC, or microchip) computer.
