My previous thread on this mysterious aerospace computer.: @blterrible yes, I'm working on this system with CuriousMarc and TubeTime @kenshirriff That beauty is used to perform the precise calculations needed to avoid flying right through a star or bouncing too close to a supernova.  @kenshirriff This looks so much like a CRM-114 from Doctor Strangelove... but it seems to me like either communications security, or guidance. Maybe, and I'm guessing: T/A = target approach, T/G = terminal guidance? It seems like a thing that might have been classified, but low-risk at this point. Good luck with your research! |
