Abstract

The designers of the Apollo G&N system adopted a conservative but flexible design philosophy. In this paper the development of the guidance computer is described which typifies the application of the design approach throughout the development of the system. The computers have demonstrated a mean-time-between-failure (MTBF) of four to five times that predicted. The success of the design approach has thus been shown by the observed reliability of the system.
