Anyone know the extent of GM's involvement with the Apollo 17 flight? Remember my father (who worked for Delco Electronics) talking about it when I was a kid... |

Delco developed the Guidance and Navigation system for Apollo; GM also developed a good percentage of the Lunar Rover systems flown Apollo 15, 16 and 17... |

Funny you should ask... The Apollo 4 cover that I chose to showcase this flight is a contractor cover from the AC Electronics Division of the General Motors Corporation in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. |

I worked almost 40 years for GM/ACE Electronics/Delco, having been intimate with Apollo, Lunar Excursion Module, and Lunar Roving Vehicle (all seven Flight Articles) delivered to TBC for fender/antenna installation.Transferred to Delco, Santa Barbara six years prior to mass move in 1972 and 73. I am available to discuss any part of Mobility Sub Systems or folks who worked there. |

Does anyone know when the Delco Electronics CSM/LM Computer Manual for Apollo 15 was written? There is no date on it... |

I thought the Apollo G and N system was developed by MIT/Draper. |
