Astronomical Observation Template; Logical set of instructions for one instrument of the satellite, corresponding to one type of observation Observers must specify arguments (parameters) for the AOT, indicating the type of source, the size of a raster, desired signal-to-noise ratio, etc ISO-PGA is used to specify these things
Alignment Optical Telescope, which is basically just a sighting scope, with no magnification and a 60-degree field-of-view The AOT is ceiling-mounted above the forward instrument panels and can be seen in Apollo 12 training photo KSC-69PC-0594 There are six fixed viewing directions (the "detents") The astronauts looked through the AOT and, using two sets of marks called the spiral and cursor, measured star locations so that the computer can determine LM orientation A discussion of the AOT has been assembled by Journal Contributor Adam Bootle
