No, they weren't quite an established technology by 1960. Also multi-layer PCBs weren't a thing, and two layers do not allow routing for the component density.

- kens 4y agoThe Apollo Guidance Computer and the LVDC used multi-layer printed circuit boards for the Apollo missions. I think the AGC was 7 layers and the LVDC 12.
- varjag 4y agoI stand corrected. Was it one of the project innovations though? Can't seem to recall ever seeing that myself on commercial period hardware.
