During a recent photography outing I came across the above piece of equipment photographed above.
It is claimed that this 1969 computer was used in the guidance of the Moon Landing. Although it is admitted that there was no documention to prove this claim or if it was for just one moon landing or all of them.
I have out of curiosity sent a query to NASA in reference to this. I was able to acquire the information off of the computer as to serial numbers, and other information etc. and sent it to them as well.
So now I guess we'll just have to wait and see if they respond or not and whether they are able to confirm the information.
Hopefully we'll be able to answer the question;
Can there really be a piece of American Space History here in El Paso?

Space Shuttle Atlantis - In El Paso, Texas
Monday, June 1, 2009 - The space shuttle Atlantis had a layover in El Paso, Texas on its return to Florida after having landed in Eduards Airforce Base in California on May 24th, after having completed a Hubble Telescope Repair Mission. This was the Shuttle Atlantis' 30th mission. Due to bad weather in Florida the landing had to take place at Eduards Airforce Base.
