https://mitmuseum.mit.edu/LunarDay July 20, 2019 We are especially thrilled to welcome the Apollo Guidance Computer (AGC) Restoration Team to the Museum, and see the results of their multi-year effort to restore the AGC #14 used for ground testing and man-rating of the Lunar Module in Houston. Unless you are an Apollo astronaut or part of the team that worked on the AGC and its software, this is the first time ever, to see this computer in action! A display will be open all day, and presentations at 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. will allow for a deeper dive into how the computer works, and the challenges of restoring it.
Yep! The team is part of CHM so it's going to be featured at VCF West next month. There's also an event in Philly, I think, but I don't know details. They wanted to bring it to Infoage but unfortunately I the schedule didn't work. On Sat, Jul 6, 2019, 10:26 PM Jeffrey Jonas via vcf-midatlantic < vcf-midatlantic@lists.vcfed.org> wrote:
