Draper

Draper, formally the Charles Stark Draper Laboratory, is an engineering and technology research organization tracing its origin to 1932, when Charles Stark Draper founded the Aeronautical Instrumentation Laboratory at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology; it became an independent nonprofit corporation in 1973. The laboratory designed the Apollo Guidance Computer, a one cubic foot computer that controlled the navigation and guidance of the lunar module on nine Apollo launches, six of which landed on the surface of the Moon. Draper later led an industry team developing an autonomous lunar lander named CP-12 under the NASA Commercial Lunar Payload Services program, though NASA and Draper mutually agreed to end that lander mission after development delays pushed its schedule well beyond the plan NASA had originally set.
