EVA training photo taken 18 April 1969 shows Neil Armstrong checking his deployment of the erectable S-Band antenna while Buzz Aldrin uses the tongs to gather a sample. During the mission, communications with Houston was deemed to be good enough that erection of the S-Band antenna was skipped. Similar antenna were erected by the Apollo 12 and Apollo 14 crews to allow signal transmission from the color television camera used on those flights. Scan courtesy Margaret Persinger/KSC.
