How much memory did the computer on the Apollo 13 have?
The Apollo Guidance Computer on Apollo 13 had 64 KB of memory available for storing programs and data. This memory was used to execute the spacecraft's guidance software and calculations needed for the mission.
Which computer was developed first an embedded computer or desktop computer?
The Apollo Guidance Computer, which took us to the moon was an embedded computer long before any desktop computer existed. There were missile guidance computers before that (e.g. Bomark & Minuteman I) that were embedded.
Why did the astronauts need the guidance computer on Apollo 11 and where was it guiding them to?
The guidance computer on Apollo 11 was needed to precisely calculate the spacecraft's position, velocity, and trajectory during the mission. It guided the astronauts to the Moon and helped them navigate the complex maneuvers required to perform the lunar landing and return safely to Earth.
What did Apollo program need to run its guidance systems?
A worldwide network of satellite dishes connected to a building full of computers. The guidance was done from earth and verified by the crew using the same kind of sextants that had been used for thousands of years by sailors navigating the world's oceans. The astronaut took a reading on 3 or 4 different stars and punched their coordinates into a verty small computer which told them where they were in space.
True or false the first computers to use the integrated circuit were known as third-generation computers?
True. Some of these computers used hybrid integrated circuits (e.g. IBM System/360) and some used monolithic integrated circuits (e.g. Apollo Guidance Computer, Minuteman II Guidance Computer)
