There is a printed version of this printed by Alpha Books, ISBN 1-56761-463-9. 
I bought it years ago (1998)

. Not sure if it’s 100% the same text, but it has a lot of nice pictures and 
was issued around the 25th anniversary of Apollo 11. It’s on Amazon right now 
for $7.12.

"NASA Contractor Report 182505 Computers in Spaceflight: The NASA Experience"

More of a top-level tour of a number of platforms, it covers, in quite
some detail, systems from Gemini to the Space Shuttle and mentions the
RCA 1802 numerous times. Samples of some NASA DSLs (HAL/S and GOAL).
Extensive citations and bibilography.  Voyager and Galileo are covered
in Chapter 6.

Excellent stuff in there.
