Properties of a Pocket Calculator for Astronauts
Just some thoughts and an lot of subjunctives:

What are the "properties" of a pocket calculator to be useful in a spacecraft when every other computer dies?

* Hardware for space conditions? - Display, keyboard, case, power supply/consumption, battery, ...
* Explicite Software/programs? - Travelling, trajectory calculations, lunar math, spaceship controlling math, ...
* There is some information about calculators in space (HP65, MK-52, AGC) - Which programs did they run?

Thanks for any information and idea.

Regards
