I've cloned and intend to follow the chrislgarry/Apollo-11 repository, with additions. My project is at proudindiv/Apollo-11 on github. My current objectives are to literate the original Apollo 11 source code and to reverse engineer images of the original card decks. I hope to produce something useful to the community and to submit PRs for issues I identify between the transcriptions in that repository and the original source scans for Luminary 099 and Comanche 055.
- Comanche055 and Luminary099 directory contents track the original repository.
- The noweb file Apollo-11.nw, which creates Apollo-11.pdf, README.md, and the files that generate the others (Comanche055.sh, and Luminary099.sh and in turn Comanche055.nw, Luminary099.nw, Comanche055.pdf, Luminary099.pdf, Comanche055.agc, and Luminary099.agc), is my in progress reverse engineering of the code in the original repository. Comanche055.card and Luminary099.card will be generated from the .agc files. The interesting output products are the .pdf files.
- extern and intern contain generated files that are part of my process and are not for human consumption.
- README.md is this explanation and contains the content of the original repositry README.md below.
My main tool is vi on Linux. I also use TeXstudio and ReText, with noweb, on the ubuntu mate operating system:
To compile the noweb .nw files I use this user command in TeXstudio:
noweb %.nw | pdflatex -synctex=1 -interaction=nonstopmode %.tex
Eventually I'll create a Makefile to show the dependencies and constructions.

Original Apollo 11 guidance computer (AGC) source code for Command Module (Comanche055) and Lunar Module (Luminary099). Digitized by the folks at Virtual AGC and MIT Museum. The goal is to be a repo for the original Apollo 11 source code. As such, PRs are welcome for any issues identified between the transcriptions in this repository and the original source scans for Luminary 099 and Comanche 055, as well as any files I may have missed. ##Compilation If you are interested in compiling the original source code, check out Virtual AGC.

This source code has been transcribed or otherwise adapted from digitized
images of a hardcopy from the MIT Museum. The digitization was performed
by Paul Fjeld, and arranged for by Deborah Douglas of the Museum. Many
thanks to both. The images (with suitable reduction in storage size and
consequent reduction in image quality as well) are available online at
www.ibiblio.org/apollo. If for some reason you find that the images are
illegible, contact me at info@sandroid.org about getting access to the
(much) higher-quality images which Paul actually created.
