The AGC memory is a one giant memory mat, so the wires have to be continuous across the whole 16 bit plane mat. The complete view of the 32k core mat. The folding pattern. And some of the drive electronics you'll need to replicate for testing. Happy weaving! Episode 8: Malco Connector Drawings This is the first book to fully describe the Apollo guidance computer's architecture, instruction format and programs used by the astronauts. As a comprehensive account, it will span the disciplines of computer science, electrical and aerospace engineering. However, it will also be accessible to the 'space enthusiast'. Apollo operations handbook-- technical info on the use of the AGC, written after the Apollo I fire (hence for a Block I AGC). Typed in by an enthusiast. Apollo Saturn Reference Page-- lots of data, oriented toward modellers. Programmable Technologies-- some other useful technical data. National Air and Space Museum (Smithsonian) -- info on The "AGC Handbook" I recently scanned has, in addition to complete electrical schematics, the top-level drawings for the 2003100- and 2003200- models of the computer. Apollo Operations Handbook, Block II Spacecraft, Volume 1, Spacecraft De scription Author: NASA, Spacecraft Operation Branch, Flight Crew Support Division Subject: Systems data, guidance and navigation system Keywords: Virtual AGC Created Date: 9/28/2003 9:18:33 PM Coding the Apollo Guidance Computer (AGC) By Tim Slavin / History / August 2015 Issue Learn about and explore the code used to guide Apollo missions. When we think of history, we might think of famous politicians or military leaders or athletes. Programming has been around long enough, since the 1930s and 1940s, to have its own history. Infoage Science/History Learning Center The Apollo Guidance Computer: Architecture and Operation AGC Hardware • 36K (16-bit) words ROM (core rope) • 2k (16-bit) words core RAM • Instructions average 12-85 microseconds • 1 cu.ft, 70 pounds, 55 watts • 34 "Normal" instructions • 10 "Involuntary" instructions • 8 I/O instructions A scientific study of the problems of digital engineering for space flight systems, with a view to their practical solution. Apollo Guidance Computer (AGC) Some of the documents on this page are posted here courtesy of MIT and are for the use of researchers, engineers, historians, and interested readers. into the AGC. Most of its technology was completely novel, and many of its software perks were "ahead of [their] time by decades". To claim the AGC was not a powerful com-puter abuses the definition of the word.
