Feedback and Testimonials

- Apollo DSKY Replica;

I find your effort to replicate the Apollo DSKY, extremely exciting.

I was one of a number of engineers that worked on the design of the DSKY. I was employed by Raytheon Space and Information (Sudbury, MA) during the development of the DSKY. We worked in concert with MIT Draper labs personnel in the development of the Apollo Guidance Computer. During the development of the AGC and the DSKY at that time we were working with breakthrough technologies. I can easily visualize the creation of the switch mechanism utilized in the DSKY.

Thanks for bringing back such a historical bit of our technological history.
