Apollo Guidance Computer

The Apollo Guidance Computer (AGC) was a pioneering computer used in NASA's Apollo missions to the Moon during the 1960s. It played a crucial role in navigation, control, and guidance, processing data to help astronauts and spacecraft execute complex maneuvers. With a revolutionary design for its time, the AGC featured a simple user interface with a screen and keypad, enabling astronauts to input commands. Its effectiveness contributed to the success of the Apollo missions, making it a foundational achievement in both computing and space exploration history. The AGC showcased early real-time computing and influenced future technology development.
