if you knew why did you say only one computer and only one DSKY??
are you telling me when you researched it you found there were two guidance computers (lunar + command module) and two DSKY on the command module and you deliberately posted that there was only one?? and only one DSKY??
did you just admit to deliberately posting false misleading information??
wow that was fast.
Apollo missions, carried an AGC, Apollo Guidance computer, which they communicated with using one DSKY system, it was the first ''integrated circuit based computer'' which used silicon chips, and they all only had one which absolutely had to function 100%, radiation, especially ionized particles be it alpha or beta, nuclei and others literally fry silicon based electronics.
Yes they had a gyroscope, and visual guidence, which all had to be translated through the DSKY to the AGC system electronically to operate the craft.
Let's start with that okay, one thing at a time.

NO, i said that one craft, per craft!! They had an AGC and a way to communicate with it, came a DSKY system. And by ONE i mean there was no back up for either of the systems. Not on one craft..

This subject hits home for me and people like you annoy me.
My grandfather worked for Union Carbide for 38 years and a full 2 years of that was spent working with the group in Tennessee to develop and manufacture the Lunar Sample Return Conatainer.
Of course according to you, all this was a sham and a smokescreen. 2 years for nothing. Everybody paid off.
Get a grip son.

how about you look at the difference between this "integrated circuit" and current integrated circuits..
how about you look up how the guidance computers deals with errors..
how about you look up how particle radiation actually affects integrated circuits..
p.s. why not make it easy and you explain how particle radiation would fry the guidance computer?
p.p.s and no i dont completely see what the problem you are trying to convey now, you said there was no backup, but now you agree that there was as in the lunar module is the backup for the command and the AGS was the backup for the lunar module guidance.

again false..
seriously question your ability to research..
computer hardware today is very very different from hardware from the 60's.. specifically SIZE..
particle radiation can change 1 to 0 and vice versa which makes the program not function the way its supposed to. not so much a problem with 60's hardware.
What about the windows? They don't protect anyone from anything, except UV and temperature differences.

Tell us about the construction of the windows, please.

No, but you might have an allergy to using a search engine, i named the parts, the crafts layout and design is online available to the public, radiation studies in the belts is still ongoing and they have pages and pages of reading.
Many land based radiation studies have been are being conducted land based, it's available to us equally.

They use tempered and annealed glass, that's what NASA says, its just the difference in the control in temperature that's different and how each one is cooled.... SEARCH IT UP.

How do probes survive it?

I am not your babysitter, you have access to the same technology as i do. Do a simple search on radiation effects on electronics and they have a wide range of studies, especially ionized radiation particles.
The effects are random but all debilitating to a system that has to work at a 100% were talking about landing at high speeds, traveling to and from a destination which requires that said system, the lifting off and docking at high speeds, any one of those commands fails, and you die.

? It's the same...... just more memory and the ability to convert files.. it doesn't matter if it changes, the crafts exposure to radiation is random that doesn't make it safe, it's constant and random. It would only take one highly charged beta particle to penetrate, as small as it is, and take out the landing gear, or multiple functions if not all.
