Original Apollo 11 code open-sourced by NASA — original Command Module and Lunar Module code repos are now public domain resources
NASA has open-sourced the original Apollo 11 code, making the Command Module and Lunar Module code repositories public domain resources. The code, available on GitHub, was digitized by Virtual AGC and the MIT Museum, allowing easy online access. The codebases contain essential functions for navigation, such as calculating transcendental functions for the historic moon landing mission. Despite the limited specs of the Apollo Guidance Computers, enthusiasts can now compile and explore the code using the Virtual AGC tool. This release of the code coincides with NASA's ongoing Artemis II lunar mission, offering a glimpse into the past achievements of space exploration.
