ReplyDelete1. Apollo 13: The crew carried a Pickett N600-ES slide rule, which was used for routine calculations during their April 1970 mission.
2. Apollo 11: Buzz Aldrin’s personal slide rule, a Pickett N600-ES, flew to the Moon on Apollo 11 and was later sold at auction in 2007.
3. Wernher von Braun’s slide rule: The National Air and Space Museum has a slide rule owned by Wernher von Braun, the director of the Marshall Spaceflight Center, which shows signs of heavy use.
