This note is to inform everyone that the AS-502 spacecraft computer program ropes will be made precisely the same as those for AS-501. Specifically, it is MIT assembly Solarium 55. You recall Solarium 54 was our original AS-501 A-release, but it was necessary to make a modification in one of the rope modules to correct…

Progress Report – RTCC program development reduction – Review of requirements for the AS-502 mission
On February 17th we held a meeting in our continuing effort to reduce the program development demands on the Real Time Computing Complex. In this instance, a group of FCD, FSB and MPAD people reviewed requested modifications to the AS-501 RTCC program in preparation for the AS-502 mission. I could briefly summarize the results by…
Apollo Spacecraft Computer Program Schedule
Since last week I promised to start quoting some delivery dates, here goes. We are currently planning release of the flight programs for rope manufacture as follows:…
Small program change needed in the AS-501/502 AGC program
In the course of development of the AS-206 computer program at MIT, a coding error was discovered which was immediately recognized as being common to the AS-204 and AS-501/502 programs. It is a scaling error, if you know what that means, which imposes the operational constraint of not operating one of the integration programs (i.e.,…
AGC program for AS-501/502 – Final status report
The attached memorandum lists all of the program changes required to the AS-202 program to fly AS-501 and AS-502. As you can see, there are quite a few, although most are quite simple. For example, some of these changes are merely corrections to bugs that were known to be in the AS-202 program when we…
Spacecraft computer program status for AS-501
This memorandum is to give my impression of what went on during the meeting MIT on September 12, 1966, regarding the AS-501/502 spacecraft guidance computer program. Primarily I would like to describe the status of this program as we see it now….
