Source Code

These source-code files are part of a reconstructed copy of Luminary 173, the second (unflown) release of the Apollo 14 Lunar Module (LM) Apollo Guidance Computer (AGC) software.

The reconstruction began with reconstructed source code for Luminary 178. Changes between revision 173 and 178 were backed out, as described by Luminary memo 167 (revision 1). The reconstruction was verified by matching memory-bank checksums to those listed in drawing 2021152N. Note that page numbers in the reconstructed code match those for the baseline log section mentioned in each file's changelog; the page numbers for a real Luminary 173 listing would be different.

Comments from 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.
