Apollo Guidance Computer


This was the computer help to man for go to the moon.......


The Neil Armstrong kept his foot on the  moon at 7th of July 1969 . but you know how they go to moon?........how they go to moon before 45 years ?, that days have computer like a buildings.but answer is AGC- Apollo Guidance Computer. that rocket has 13000 kg weight but that rocket control automated using this computer(30 kg weight).




    

 1960 had computer like Building. this machine like industries. this machine came error always. so there was many separate workers to fix these error. other thing is it needed to more voltage. so these days NASA needed to fix small computer to Apollo 11, and it must low weight, it must not arise any error, it's work with low voltage.

  
    

this target surrendered to Massachusetts institute of technology.this computer operate speed is primary than now days has some mobile phone speed . it's memory is only 160 KB, it's addition speed 1/1000 second but now its become 1/100000000 second. but it was very powerful machine in that days.
                                   first time used IC(Integrated Circuits) to this computer, this software also planed as look at the  hardware system. crate circuit using copper cable bandage around  iron cores like pattern that are adjust according software, 64 cables bandage around one iron cores.





    
voltage is change  following across of this pattern of cables, this software command is operate.if voltage is went through one special cable thereby read as "1", otherwise it's "0". hence its generate digital code. that, control command of Apollo craft. so create processor using these iron rings. these rings create from dress weavers. they crated 5000 IC from they hand.  


     


finally they create a computer that computer was  1 cubic foot size. this computer interface introduce as Display and Keyboard(DSKY). shortly it called dsky.
