Source Code

These source-code files are part of a reconstructed copy of Luminary 178, the final release of the Apollo 14 Lunar Module (LM) Apollo Guidance Computer (AGC) software.

The reconstruction began with source code of Zerlina 56, Luminary 210, and Luminary 131, previously transcribed from digitized copies of those programs. The code was created by combining the three, using Zerlina 56 as a base, since it was based off of Luminary 183. The differences between the three were carefully merged using the Luminary memos as a guide, with all changes made after Luminary 178 being backed out. 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 178 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.
