## Hardware restoration ## Hardware restoration
While gr-apollo works with the Virtual AGC *emulator*, others have gotten the real hardware running. [CuriousMarc (Marc Verdiell)](https://www.curiousmarc.com/space), along with Mike Stewart, [Ken Shirriff](https://www.righto.com/search/label/Apollo), and a team of volunteers, have restored actual Apollo Guidance Computers and S-Band telecommunications equipment to operational status. Their work provides invaluable validation that the specifications gr-apollo implements match the behavior of real flight hardware.

Of particular interest: [Building an Apollo transmit station with Keysight instruments](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ctNmYFfxI7w) shows modern Keysight signal generators and analyzers driving the same S-Band uplink chain that gr-apollo models in software. [Inside the WILD Lab of CuriousMarc](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qwocVH3_1Eo) is a Keysight-produced tour of the lab where the restoration work happens.
