Hybrid computing for lunar excursion module studies

Abstract

Hybrid computation plays an important role in our man-in-space effort. Large scale combined analog-digital studies in support of NASA's Project Apollo are now being performed. The computers utilized are an IBM 7094-II digital computer and three consoles of Reeves 500 analog computing equipment. These are linked by an Adage 770 Computer Link that provides an analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog capacity of 48 and 55 channels, respectively.
