Abstract This chapter gives a brief overview of the historic development of onboard computers since the early days of the Space Age. It is not intended as a complete compilation of all missions and their computer equipment, but targets for understanding the major milestones on the way to today’s implementations concerning both OBC hardware and OBSW. Both human space missions as well as unmanned deep space probes including satellite missions are treated respectively.
