“Core Rope Memory” is one type of the ROM Memories (ROM = Read Only Memory). This term is also known as “LOL Memory” (Little Old Lady Memory) because the women of NASA’s space factory woven these memories. In the 1960s, this type of memory was used for NASA’s early experiments during the Mars Space Program and for the Apollo Guidance Computer. Software pioneer Margaret Hamilton had successfully developed “Core Rope Memory” for the Apollo space program.
