Computers and Apollo



In November 1970, Ian Grant, Geoff Seymour and John Saxon authored a paper entitled “Computers and Apollo”.

It was presented at a meeting of the Australian Computer Society in Melbourne.

This document gives an insight into the vital role played in Apollo by computers. As the conclusion states, “without the modern high speed digital computer, the Apollo project would have been impossible”.

Thanks to Ian Grant for his copy of this paper.
