Astronauts manually flew Project Gemini with control sticks, but computers flew most of Project Apollo except briefly during lunar landings. [6] Each Moon flight carried two AGCs, one each in the command module and the Apollo Lunar Module, with the exception of Apollo 7 which was an Earth orbit mission and Apollo 8 which did not need a lunar module for its lunar orbit mission.
Apollo 7 slow-scan TV, transmitted by the RCA command module TV camera. NASA decided on initial specifications for TV on the Apollo command module (CM) in 1962. [2] [ Note 1] Both analog and digital transmission techniques were studied, but the early digital systems still used more bandwidth than an analog approach: 20 MHz for the digital system, compared to 500 kHz for the analog system.

On February 16, 2019, React 16.8 was released to the public, introducing React Hooks. [18] Hooks are functions that let developers "hook into" React state and lifecycle features from function components. [19]
Lunar Module Eagle (LM-5) is the spacecraft that served as the crewed lunar lander of Apollo 11, which was the first mission to land humans on the Moon.It was named after the bald eagle, which was featured prominently on the mission insignia.
A well-known gimbal lock incident happened in the Apollo 11 Moon mission. On this spacecraft, a set of gimbals was used on an inertial measurement unit (IMU). The engineers were aware of the gimbal lock problem but had declined to use a fourth gimbal. [5] Some of the reasoning behind this decision is apparent from the following quote:
Given the company's current market cap of around $8 billion, in addition to $12 billion in net debt, Fishman estimated Apollo's $11 billion studio bid values the rest of the company between $11 ...
The ascent propulsion system (APS) or lunar module ascent engine (LMAE) is a fixed-thrust hypergolic rocket engine developed by Bell Aerosystems for use in the Apollo Lunar Module ascent stage. It used Aerozine 50 fuel, and N 2 O 4 oxidizer.
Apollo/Domain is a series of workstations that were developed and produced by Apollo Computer from c. 1980 to 1989. The machines were built around the Motorola 68k series of processors, except for the DN10000, which has from one to four of Apollo's RISC processors, named PRISM .
