A collectSPACE reader working to restoring a similar panel for a museum came across this post and offered the following: The modules were used in the launch control boards for the Atlas Missile silos built in the late 60s. |

Or maybe a panel from a Saturn 1B firing room? Notice the similarity in configured lights in the "Simulation" and "Preparation" panels shown in this image.I suppose these could have been standard parts used in many applications, but the actual button labels would be mission specific for the particular unit in question. |

The Atlas launch vehicles that were deployed in silos used RP-1 and LOX as propellants, not LH2 and LOX. |

In addition, all Atlas ICBMs, including the silo-based Atlas F, were phased out by mid-1965, so the silos were not constructed in the "late 60s." | |
