IBM System/360 Model 95

•The Data Processing Division announces on July 1 that NASA has formally accepted two new IBM System/360 Model 95 computers. Installed at the Goddard Space Flight Center, the new computers are the first and only ones in IBM's Model 90 series equipped with ultra-high-speed thin-film memories. Those memory units had been developed and manufactured at IBM's Components Division facility in Burlington, Vt. One Model 95 is the primary data processing facility for the Center's Tracking and Data Systems Directorate; the second Model 95 is used by astrophysicists at NASA to create massive mathematical models of the universe.
