Source Code

These source-code files are part of a reconstructed copy of Comanche 44, the initial release (though not the final mission release) of the Apollo 10 Command Module (CM) Apollo Guidance Computer (AGC) software. Subsequent releases were Comanche 45 and Comanche 45/2 (the flown release on Apollo 10). The reconstruction is believed to be exactly accurate, but in the absence of an actual Apollo-era listing of Comanche 44, some explanation of the reconstruction process is needed to insure confidence in that accuracy.

The starting point was the source code of Comanche 51 (separately previously reconstructed from an Apollo-era listing of Comanche 55, flown on Apollo 11). Comanche 51 source code was then modified by undoing changes known to have been made between revisions 44 and 51. The now-reconstructed Comanche 44 source code was verified by assembling it and checking that the assembled code had the expected known-correct memory-bank checksums. Note that page numbers in the reconstructed code match those on the Comanche 55 printout, although the source code would likely have different page numbers in a contemporary Comanche 44 listing.

Annotations that were not present in the contemporary source code have been added to the reconstructed code to justify each change relative to Comanche 51. Here's a guide to the Apollo documentation referenced in those annotations:
In most cases, only the titles (rather than the full texts) of PCRs are known. In addition to the explanatory annotations, there is also a step-by-step commentary about the reconstruction process.

Comments expected to have been present in the original source code are prefixed with a single '#' symbol, whereas comments added later are prefixed by "##" or "###". Report any errors noted by creating an issue report at the Virtual AGC Project's GitHub repository.
