ASC-15 digital computer. The ASC-15 (Advance System Controller Model 15) was a digital computer developed by International Business Machines (IBM) for use on the Titan II intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM). [1] [2] It was subsequently modified and used on the Titan III and Saturn I Block II launch vehicles.
Some of the earliest computers were military computers. Military requirements for portability and ruggedness led to some of the earliest transistorized computers, such as the 1958 AN/USQ-17, the 1959 AN/MYK-1 (), the 1960 M18 FADAC, and the 1962 D-17B; the earliest integrated-circuit based computer, the 1964 D-37C; as well as one of the earliest laptop computers, the 1982 Grid Compass.
1957 - Launch of the first ICBM, the USSR's R-7 (8K71), known to NATO as the SS-6 Sapwood. 1957 - The USSR launches Sputnik 1, the first artificial satellite. 1958 - The U.S. launches Explorer 1, the first American artificial satellite, on a Jupiter-C rocket. 1958 - US launches their first ICBM, the Atlas-B (the Atlas-A was a test article only).
The first launch took place on 15 May 1957 and led to an unintended crash 400 km (250 mi) from the site. The first successful test followed on 21 August 1957; the R-7 flew over 6,000 km (3,700 mi) and became the world's first ICBM. [7] The first strategic-missile unit became operational on 9 February 1959 at Plesetsk in north-west Russia. [8]
His first models were designed in the early 1930s, but in 1932 his first version of the E-6B, originally known as the "Dalton Dead Reckoning Computer", came into existence. [ 2 ] On October 30, 1940, Dalton was recalled to active duty and assigned to Naval Air Station Anacostia , across the river from Washington, DC, to help train naval aviators.
