NASA has officially made the source code for the Apollo 11 spacecraft available to the public. The software, which powered the first human moon landing, is now hosted on GitHub in the chrislgarry/Apollo-11 repository.
The release includes two primary systems used during the historic 1969 mission:
- Comanche055: Source code for the Command Module.
- Luminary099: Source code for the Lunar Module.
Both programs operated on the Apollo Guidance Computer (AGC). Despite the immense complexity of the mission, the hardware functioned with only 3.75 KB of RAM and 67.5 KB of storage. This open-source release provides a rare, technical look at the engineering that enabled humanity's first steps on the lunar surface.
