The workshop.

Apollo Replica builds handcrafted replicas of Apollo-program hardware in a small Barcelona workshop. Every piece is detailed with care to match the original, carries its engraved serial number and is tested before leaving.

Our mission

We believe the Apollo Guidance Computer's DSKY interface is one of the most significant human-machine interfaces ever created. It guided astronauts to the Moon and back with just 74 KB of memory. Apollo Replica exists to preserve that legacy.

§ 02

The craft

Every DSKY is handcrafted with precision-machined components, custom PCBs, and resin 3D-printed keys faithful to the original MIT Instrumentation Laboratory specifications. Each unit is individually tested and calibrated before shipping.

§ 03

Open-source roots

Apollo Replica is built on the open-source Apollo Simulation Peripheral Lab project. We contribute back to the community while offering a premium product for collectors.

§ 04

Compatibility

Every DSKY replica works with yaAGC and NASSP space simulators out of the box, and integrates with Home Assistant for smart home control using the original Verb and Noun command system.
