Hi Roy,
two of them:
"Digital Apollo", Mindell, David A., MIT 2008
and:
"Journey to the Moon, History of the Apollo Guidance Computer", Hall, Eldon
C., 1996
The Mindell book is really excellent, reads like a novel, no EE degree
required.
Mindell discusses the trade-offs they made such as in-flight repair
capability or not as well as the overall mission in great detail.
The Hall book is written by an engineer that actually worked on the AGC,
and very detailed, it includes schematics, many photos, GANTT charts, etc.
This book is not as cohesive as the first one though, and focuses mostly on
the computer rather than the mission.
bye,
Said
