Source Code

This is a reconstruction of the AGC program Luminary 99 Rev 0. It was the third release of the Lunar Module flight software targeted for use in Apollo 11, after Luminary 96 and 97. A bug (which had been around since at least Apollo 10, Luminary 69) was discovered in Rev 0 shortly before the Apollo 11 flight, resulting in a last minute revision into Rev 1, which is what actually flew rather than the Rev 0 presented here. A hardcopy of Rev 0 is known to exist — it belonged to AGC developer Allan Klumpp for many years — but unfortunately the Virtual AGC Project has not had access to that hardcopy. Thus the code you see here had been reconstructed (we believe accurately) rather than transcribed. The first step of the reconstruction of the Rev 0 source code was the transcription of the Rev 1 source code from a hardcopy in the MIT Museum collection. The process of reverting the active portion of the source code (i.e., other than program comments) from Rev 1 to Rev 0 was very minor, consisting only of moving the position of the STARTSB1 label in FRESH START AND RESTART. Allan had previously given us the checksums of the memory banks of Rev 0, and we have verified the program presented here has checksums identical to all banks of Allan's listing of Rev 0. The notations on Allan's Rev 0 program listing read, in part:

A single program comment is known to differ between Rev 0 and Rev 1, but these are harder to reconstruct and verify than changes to the active portion of the code. Thus it is possible that there are additional differences between the program comments in Rev 0 and Rev 1 that are unknown to us, and therefore are not reflected in the code presented here.
