PDF-[EBOOK]-The Apollo Guidance Computer: Architecture and Operation (Springer Praxis Books)

The technological marvel that facilitated the Apollo missions to the Moon was the onboard computer In the 1960s most computers filled an entire room but the spacecrafts computer was required to be compact and low power Although people today find it difficult to accept that it was possible to control a spacecraft using such a primitive computer it nevertheless had capabilities that are advanced even by todays standardsThis is the first book to fully describe the Apollo guidance computers architecture instruction format and programs used by the astronauts As a comprehensive account it will span the disciplines of computer science electrical and aerospace engineering However it will also be accessible to the space enthusiast In short the intention is for this to be the definitive account of the Apollo guidance computerFrank OBriens interest in the Apollo program began as a serious amateur historian About 12 years ago he began performing research and writing essays for the Apollo Lunar Surface Journal and the Apollo Flight Journal Much of this work centered on his primary interests the Apollo Guidance Computer AGC and the Lunar Module These Journals are generally considered the canonical online reference on the flights to the Moon He was then asked to assist the curatorial staff in the creation of the Cradle of Aviation Museum on Long Island New York where he helped prepare the Lunar Module simulator a LM procedure trainer and an Apollo space suit for display He regularly lectures on the Apollo computer and related topics to diverse groups from NASAs computer engineering conferences the IEEEACM computer festivals and university student groups. office@springer.eu| www.springer.euHans-Springer-Strasse 2 | A-9360 Friesach| T +43 4268 2581-0 | F +43 4268 2581-45www.springer.euPage 1Copyright bySpringer Maschinenfabrik AG 2009 The wood-mechanisi Ovid. , Metamorphoses.

Concepts and principles aren\'t simply named or descr The book focuses on the design, testing and manufacture of the F-1 engine, but also covers its incorporation into the first stage of the Saturn V and in-flight record. It concludes with an examination of what might have been, if the F-1 had not been discarded, together with the Saturn V, at the conclusion of the Apollo program. The account draws on original documents and interviews with engineers and managers, and is illustrated by many never-before-published photographs, both colour and monochrome. The intention is for this to be the definitive account of the development of this most powerful of rocket engines. As NASA is developing an evolved version of the hydrogen-burning J-2 engine for use in the forthcoming Ares launch vehicles, the author includes development of the J-2 engine within the context of the Saturn V development, thus bringing rocket engine development up to the present and thus provide this book with a long shelf life.

On 25 May 1961, John F Kennedy announced the goal of landing an American man on the Moon by the end of the decade. This challenge forced NASA to review the planned lunar landing of a three-man spaceship named Apollo in the mid-1970s. In 1962, it was decided that a specialized vehicle would accompany the main spacecraft, to make the lunar landing while the mothership remained in lunar orbit. To send these vehicles to the Moon would require the development of an enormous rocket. Development was protracted, but in December 1968 Apollo 8 was launched on a pioneering mission to perform an initial reconnaissance in lunar orbit. When Apollo 17 lifted off from the Moon in December 1972, the program was concluded. Now, at long last, there is a real prospect of a resumption of human exploration of the Moon.This book provides an overview of the origins of the Apollo program and descriptions of the ground facilities, launch vehicles and spacecraft that will serve as an invaluable single-volume \'sourcebook\' for space enthusiasts, space historians, journalists, and programme-makers on radio/TV. It supplements other books that have focused on the politics and management of the Apollo program, the astronauts, and their training and exploits. David Harland opens with a review of the robotic probes, namely the Rangers which returned television before crashing into the Moon, the Surveyors which \'soft landed\' in order to investigate the nature of the surface, and the Lunar Orbiters which mapped prospective Apollo landing sites. He then outlines the historic landing by Apollo 11 in terms of what was discovered. He concludes with a review of the robotic spacecraft that made remote-sensing observations of the Moon. The book develops the scientific theme of lunar geology, and therefore will be of use as background reading for undergraduate students of planetary sciences. Highlighted as a Commemorative Edition on the cover, this second edition has a new Foreword by one of the original astronauts and a short extra section at the end previewing the prospect of a renewal of human exploration of the Moon. It includes new extra high quality graphics which are only now available and 32 pages of color illustrations.
