Both simple and complex instrumentation contribute to the success of the apollo program and to the excellent performance of the nasa-grumman lunar module. Aboard the lm, a variety of systems contain sensors, transducers, signal conditioners, alarm and control systems, self-contained regulators, relief devices, automatic on/off and throttling control valves, and computers. This article reviews lm instrumentation and how it fits into lm subsystems. Actually, much of the hardware is not new but is proven technology - adapted, redesigned, tested and assembled into the spacecraft called lm.
