Hardback. Zustand: Very Good. In 1966 the author, newly graduated from college, went to work for the MIT laboratory where the Apollo guidance system was designed. His assignment was to program the complex lunar landing phase in the Lunar Module's onboard computer. As Apollo 11 approaches, the author flies lunar landings in simulators and meets the astronauts who will fly the LM for real. He explains the computer alarms that almost prevented Neil Armstrong from landing and describes a narrow escape from another dangerous problem. On Apollo 14 he devises a workaround when a faulty pushbutton threatens Alan Shepard's mission, earning a NASA award, a story in Rolling Stone, and a few lines in the history books.  This memoir is a new kind of book about Apollo. It tells a story never told before by an insider ? the development of the onboard software for the Apollo spacecraft. It makes a vertical connection between technical details and historic events, but by broadening the story using his own experiences as he grows into adulthood in the 1960s the author draws a parallel between that era of successful space exploration, and the exploration, inner and outer, that was taking place in the culture.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Dieses historisch wertvolle Sachbuch zeigt eindrucksvolle Hintergründe über die Arbeit des Computeringenieurs Don Eyles, der als junger Mann mehrere NASA-Raumfahrtmissionen begleitete. Es beschreibt die softwaretechnischen Aspekte der ersten Mondlandung und die Atmosphäre Mitte der 1960er Jahre bis Mitte der 1970er Jahre in den USA und insbesondere in einem High-Tech-Labor. Das Buch ist sowohl unterhaltsam als auch lehrreich und schafft die Verbindung zwischen technischen Details und historischen Ereignissen. Die Leserschaft erfährt interessante Hintergründe über die Technologie der damaligen Zeit, über Computer, Simulatoren, Verfahren und Techniken, ohne zu sehr in die Software abzudriften. Don Eyles erklärt die Hintergründe eines dramatischen Problems beim ersten Landeversuch und weist auf einen gefährlichen Programmierfehler hin. Dabei beschreibt er auch die allgemeine Atmosphäre und das Lebensgefühl im damaligen Boston.…
