The digitization # was performed by Paul Fjeld, and arranged for by Deborah Douglas of # the Museum. Many thanks to both. The images (with suitable reduction # in storage size and consequent reduction in image quality as well) are # available online at www.ibiblio.org/apollo. If for some reason you # find that the images are illegible, contact me at info@sandroid.org # about getting access to the (much) higher-quality images which Paul # actually created. # # Notations on the hardcopy document read, in part: # # Assemble revision 001 of AGC program LMY99 by NASA 2021112-061 # 16:27 JULY 14, 1969 # Page 364 BANK 15 SETLOC KALCMON1 BANK # DETECTING GIMBAL LOCK LOCSKIRT EQUALS NOGIMLOC NOGIMLOC SET CALCMAN3 WCALC LXC,1 DLOAD* RATEINDX # CHOOSE THE DESIRED MANEUVER RATE ARATE,1 # FROM A LIST OF FOUR SR4 CALL # COMPUTE THE INCREMENTAL ROTATION MATRIX DELCOMP # DEL CORRESPONDING TO A 1 SEC ROTATION # ABOUT COF DLOAD* VXSC ARATE,1 COF STODL BRATE # COMPONENT MANEUVER RATES 45 DEG/SEC AM DMP DDV* ANGLTIME ARATE,1 SR 5 STORE TM # MANEUVER EXECUTION TIME SCALED AS T2 SETGO CALCMAN2 # 0(OFF) = CONTINUE MANEUVER NEWANGL +1 # 1(ON) = START MANEUVER # THE FOUR SELECTABLE FREE FALL MANEUVER RATES SELECTED BY # LOADING RATEINDX WITH 0,2,4,6, RESPECTIVELY ARATE 2DEC .0088888888 # = 0.2 DEG/SEC $ 22.5 DEG/SEC 2DEC .0222222222 # = 0.5 DEG/SEC $ 22.5 DEG/SEC 2DEC .0888888888 # = 2.0 DEG/SEC $ 22.5 DEG/SEC 2DEC .4444444444 # = 10.0 DEG/SEC $ 22.5 DEG/SEC ANGLTIME 2DEC .0001907349 # = 1008-19 FUDGE FACTOR TO CONVERT # MANEUVER ANGLE TO MANEUVER TIME
