Cool! I didn't know that. They also carried HP calculators, did theyThe Apollo-Soyuz mission did, but after the Apollo moon missions.
not? I believe HP developed the program card readers for their early

This was a backup to the computer.
That was the first Shuttle Missions that used HP41 calculators.
