MIT Museum Presents

Object Lessons:
To the Moon and Back

Engineers and scientists working at the MIT Instrumentation Laboratory
developed the computer hardware and software that enabled the Apollo
astronauts to journey to the moon. Here is an amazing opportunity to be
among a select few to see the computer printouts and learn the history of
the two computer programs that guided the Apollo 11 command and lunar
modules to the moon and back. In the Museum's monthly series of brown bag
gallery talks, join Deborah Douglas, MIT Museum Curator of Science and
Technology, for some far-out computer talk.
