Source Code
This is the source-code for the Apollo 9 Command Module's Guidance Computer.
These files were derived originally from the scan from MIT's Dibner Institute's
now-discontinued website titled "History of Recent Science and Technology", which
in turn was originally created by Gary Neff, though his high-quality scans were
unfortunately reduced in legibility when presented online.
The markings on the front of the
printout imply that it was the original AGC developer Norm Brodeur's copy.
A scan by Ron Burkey has superceded it, made from a more-legible copy from the collection of original
AGC developer Fred Martin. The source code was transcribed from
those images by Ron Burkey. Note that the page images
presented online are of reduced quality, and that higher-quality images
are available. Report any conversion errors or legibility
problems in page images to info@sandroid.org.
Notations on the program listing read, in part:ASSEMBLE REVISION 249 OF AGC PROGRAM COLOSSUS BY NASA 2021111-041 20'35 OCT. 28,1968Note that the date is the date of the printout, not the date of the program revision. |
