- Summary
- The Display Keyboard (DSKY) was the method by which Apollo astronauts communicated with the computers on board the Apollo Command and Lunar Modules. A Command module had two DSKYs, and the Lunar Module had one. This DSKY was a "Block II" version that was installed in one of the unflown Lunar Modules.
- The interface consisted of a simple numerical keyboard, a row of status lights, and a set of lighted numerical indicators. Astronauts instructed the computer by keying in numerical codes in a "verb - noun" sequence.
