The GitHub repository for the Virtual AGC project is dedicated to the emulation and analysis of the Apollo Guidance Computer (AGC) software, particularly focusing on the Aurora 88 executable program used in the Lunar Module (LM) guidance system. The repository features key components such as the Aurora 88, which served as the standard system-checkout software for the LM guidance system. It includes a processed dump file named `Aurora88-dump.bin`, derived from three separate memory module dumps that are concatenated to create a complete image. The individual module dumps are identified as `2003972-011-BLK2-Aurora88-B1.bin`, `2003972-091-BLK2-Aurora88-B2.bin`, and `2003972-111-BLK2-Aurora88-B3.bin`. The repository also provides a Python script, `pieceworkAGC.py`, which offers instructions for converting these module dumps into a format suitable for modern AGC assemblers and emulators. Additionally, it contains tools and scripts essential for working with the AGC software, along with historical context regarding its development and usage. This project serves as a valuable resource for those interested in the technical aspects of the Apollo missions and the software that guided them.

9 commentsThey not only do a brilliant job of exposing this niche system, but it is a foundational lecture for my knowledge of computer architecture in general
AGC is one of the classic computers that would be great to see reproduced with the original controls and UI, but with modern ICs at a budget price. Similar to NES classic re-release.
