The present work examines some extensions of the digital autopilot (DAP) capability as programmed in the Apollo Command and Service Module (CSM) onboard computer. Design activity undertaken for a thrust vector control DAP to control a proposed main engine deorbit burn of CSM while still docked to the Orbital Workshop is discussed. The design, implementation, and testing of a reaction control system DAP for the docked Skylab configuration are described along with its adaptation to control of the Apollo/Soyuz docked configuration.
