Most of our problems are document archaeology and
reverse-engineering to fill holes created by missing or lost documents. Almost none of the
mission control documentation was kept, we haven't found any of the ground software,
and the Saturn flight software seems to have been lost.
Who are "we"? I have heard there is a group trying to save and archive
NASA technical documentation, but I know little of them.
I have a manual for one of the missile tracking ships (T-AGM-6, I
think) used for some of the manned missions that probably needs to be
placed in some sort of good digital archive.
