Several photos from the Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center at the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum Univac 1232 Computer The Caption reads: UNIVAC 1232 Computer This computer was used from abotu 1967 through 1990 by the U.S. Air Force's Satellite Control Facility in Sunnyvale, California, in the heart of "Silicon Valley." At this facility, now called Onizuka Air Station, more than a dozen other Sperry 1230-series computers operated in "real time" around the clock as part of a system that controlled and operated satellites for the Air force, NAS, other government agencies, and commercial firms. The 1232 also supported Space Shuttle missions. Manufactured by Sperry Univac's St. Paul, Minnesota, division, the 1232 was a military version of the UNIVAC 490 general purpose commercial computer. It used discrete transisters, was optimized for real-time use, had a 30-bit word length, and initially was supplied with 32,000 words of memory—about 123 kilobytes.
