Description

Calendar event image

This installation invites visitors to learn about and interact with a piece of space-age technology. It centers on the Memory Dialer, a machine modeled after core rope memories of yesteryear - specifically the ones that held vital software for the Apollo Lunar Module when it made its first trip to the moon in 1969.
