How They Built it: The Software of Apollo 11

,----[ Quote ]
| A wide range of different modules were needed for different phases of the
| Moon mission, from the operating system to the user interface and the
| programs for each phase of the flight in both the command module computer and
| the lunar module computer. That meant applications for ascent, orbit, the
| trans-lunar injection on the way to the Moon, coasting, lunar orbit,
| trans-Earth injection on the return to Earth and re-entry. The same sorts of
| applications were needed for the Lunar Module, including descent, surface
| operations, ascent, rendezvous and descent abort, if it would be needed.
