the LEC strap and hooks are labeled along with the strap and hooks of the waist tether Buzz has just attched to the porch rail. In the full photo, the MESA is immediately beyond the lower rungs of the ladder. John Sarkissian has spotted the TV lens peeking out from under the MESA blanket in an enhanced detail.

"Astronaut Edwin E. Aldrin Jr., lunar module pilot, egresses the Lunar Module (LM) "Eagle" and begins to descend the steps of the LM ladder as he prepares to walk on the moon. This photograph was taken by astronaut Neil A. Armstrong, commander, with a 70mm lunar surface camera during the Apollo 11 extravehicular activity (EVA). While astronauts Armstrong and Aldrin descended in the LM "Eagle" to explore the moon, astronaut Michael Collins, command module pilot, remained with the Command and Service Modules (CSM) "Columbia" in lunar orbit."
