HP-48S??

It's a 48G, 48GX, or 48G+. Can't tell for sure without a better look at the plate above the screen.

It's not like TI could have got us to Pluto . . .

I couldn't be more proud of my 48's

For the young whippersnappers that stop by here, an HP65 went up on ASTP and HP41flew on some early shuttle flights.

Yea !!

Yea !!

If anyone ever comes across a listing of the actual keystroke HP-65 programs that went into space with the calculator, please post them here. I've been trying to find those listings for at least a decade, without success. I even got through to Sol Liebergot, the member of Gene Kranz's White team who determined how serious the Apollo 13 problem was, and he couldn't find them either.

I have seen some NASA flight documentation from ASTP that mentions the HP-65 but it does not include any program documentation, unfortunately.

If anyone lives near Houston and has access to the Manned Spacecraft Center library, I'll bet those listings exist somewhere within that structure, but it would probably take a lot of digging to find them.

I second that for the program used in HP 41 in space shuttle flights,

I hope next year I can get a 65...

I guess there's some space shuttle Simulator out there (x-plane?) For have some fun with a calculator!

You could try asking the owner of this HP Calculators and Space Exploration website?

Thanks Bruce. I haven't seen that site before. I'll ask the guy.

There's some pretty fascinating stuff on that site. I always marvel at stories of using humble pocket calculators to avoid getting time on the mainframe and waiting for turnaround of results. It's effectively the birth of personal computing (especially considering HP coined that term with the 65).

Looks like no luck from the guy at that site. Here is his reply:

Quote:Hello Don,

Unfortunately no. Your best bet might still be NASA.

Good luck!

The search continues.

That's gotta be a 48G or GX. Love it!

It's fun to see the '48 reviews on Amazon. The thing came out 20+ years ago and still people are posting glowing reviews.

What a gem that instrument is. OK, I suspect I'm preaching to the choir here...

Yes. RPL will be missed for sure.
