- Summary
- This is an unflown example of a "Block I" display keyboard (DSKY) developed by Raytheon for the Apollo program. It was the primary means by which astronauts communicated with the Apollo on-board guidance computer. The Block I design was used in several unmanned flights, but it was replaced by a more advanced design for the piloted flights, which took astronauts to the Moon and back, and to several missions in near Earth orbit.
