Astronauts needed the guidance computer to automate critical navigation and control tasks during space missions, ensuring precise trajectory calculations and adjustments. The guidance computer processed real-time data from various sensors, enabling astronauts to focus on other essential aspects of the mission. It also provided vital assistance in landing maneuvers and rendezvous operations, significantly enhancing safety and mission success. Overall, the computer was crucial for managing the complexities of space travel beyond human capability alone.
What else can I help you with?
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.
When was Apollo Guidance Computer created?
Apollo Guidance Computer was created in 1966.
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.
Who is needed to drive a spacecraft?
Personnel. Astronauts. Shuttle Pilots.
Could computer engineer become astronauts?
Yes they could.
Why imams are not needed?
it is not correct. Imams are always needed for religious guidance.
What are the things needed by the astronauts to set on the moon?
well...mainly a rocket
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.
What types of math is needed for astronauts?
Arithmetic, algebra, trigonometry, calculus, etc
What products do I need to build my computer from scratch?
Building a computer from scratch is not a simple task. Having the parts will not guarantee success. The person must also have knowledge of schematics, wiring and hardware. Any computer store which sells the parts needed should be able to provide guidance and support in building a computer from scratch.
What type of a computer does an astronaut need?
The mainframe computers used to guide the astronauts to the moon had less computing power than a computer watch.
Teams of astronauts orbited Earth to practice skills that would be needed to land on the moon?
