Does any of that explain why the S-V guidance computer worked just fine
when the Apollo computer had been knocked sideways by lighting on Apollo
12?
I don't know, have no data, but I always thought about just that issue.
The explanation I heard was that the Apollo computer being in a
smaller volume and nearer the strike was exposed to higher EMF effects
than the S-V computer.
Were the Saturn V guidance computers in the IU with the stable reference
platform?
Apollo 12 was struck twice by lightning ISTR. Were the actual locations
of the lightning strikes on the vehicle documented?
