Okay. Open up your audio circuit breaker, and disconnect the LM COMM cable.

Houston, Columbia on the high gain. How do you read ?

Roger, Columbia. Reading you loud and clear on the high gain. We have enabled the one way MSFN relay that you requested. The crew of Tranquility Base is currently donning PLSS's. The LMP has his PLSS on, COMM checks out, and the CDR is checking his COMM out now. Over.

Sounds good. Thank you kindly.

Houston, Columbia. I tweaked the platform up on the back side. I have a P52 option 3 when you're ready to copy the data.

Go ahead, Columbia.

You got it.

Roger. Are you reading Tranquility Base now?

Okay. You've got an O and a P.

What is your O₂ quantity, by the way?

O₂ quantity is about 91.

I've got 92.

Okay, now. I'm going to mode select B.

Roger. Houston, this is Neil. How do you read?

Neil, this is Houston. We're reading you loud and clear. Break, break. Buzz, this is Houston through Tranquility. Over.

Roger, Houston. This is Buzz through Tranquility. How do you read? Over.

We're reading you loud and clear, Buzz. Out.

*** and are you getting a signal on the TV? Over.

That's affirmative, Neil. The data that we're receiving looks good and we are receiving SYNC pulses and a black signal on TV.

Okay. You'll find that the area around the ladder is in a complete dark shadow so we're going to have some problem with TV, but I'm sure you will see the—You'll get a picture from the lighted horizon …

This is Houston. We copy, and right toward the end of your transmission after you mentioned lighted horizon, you trailed off down into the noise level, Neil. Over.

Okay.

Columbia, this is Houston. Are you reading Tranquility all right on the relay? Over.

I believe so. I haven't heard anything fairly lately, and it's breaking up. But up until about 3 minutes ago, I was reading them loud and clear.

Roger. Sounds like you're getting it all.

Tranquility Base, this is Houston. We request you open the TV circuit breaker at the present time. We've had it on about 15 minutes now with the MESA closed. Over.

Roger.

Buzz, Buzz, this is Houston. Do you read? Over.

Roger, Houston. This is Buzz. How do you read? Over.

Roger. You're coming through loud and clear, Buzz. It's a beautiful signal.

Neil's got his antenna up now. Let's see if he comes through any better now.

Okay. Houston, this is Neil. How do you read?

Neil, this is Houston. Reading you beautifully.

(Static) My antenna's scratching the roof.

We copy, your antenna scratching the roof. Roger.

They hear everything but that.

Houston, this is Tranquility. We're standing by for a GO for cabin DEPRESS. Over.

Tranquility Base, this is Houston. You are GO for cabin depressurization. GO for cabin depressurization.

Roger. Thank you.

And the descent water valve is closed.

Okay.

Verify cabin fan number 1 circuit breaker open.

We'll have to pull that one out. ***

Now wait a minute.
