  "Flight Software Development Laboratory."

  A man-in-the-loop computer facility has been created using a digital computer, display terminal,and space vehicle flight computer to enable programmers to check out flight programs in a simulated space flight environment. The simulation requires a real time multi-programmed environment, which is supplied by a control system capable of scheduling programs on 32 levels of priority interrupt as well as answering demands for service at the display terminal. A special interface device permits visibility and control of the flight program as it executes in the flight computer. On-line inputs from the programmer at the display terminal and outputs from data collection and reduction routines to the display screen are executed in real time. The Flight Software Development Laboratory has proved to be very useful in reducing program preparation time and increasing flight program confidence.

  "Historical Summary: S & ID Apollo Program."

  Four and a half years have passed since President Kennedy and the United States Congress established a national goal of landing a man on the moon, before the end of the decade. This brief history is designed to be a working tool for use during the second half of this great adventure. It is expected that by presenting the events of the past in perspective this document will become a handy reference to accomplishments of the first half of the program. It is hoped that this volume will be of value to those directly and indirectly concerned with North American's portion of the Apollo program. This history contains a chronology of significant events, as well as material on the management of the program, a record of some of the breakthroughs in technology, a report of the hardware produced to date, and the many tests performed to man-rate the equipment.
