CAPCOM

CAPCOM refers to the astronaut or Mission Control staffer in charge of communications. The Habitat and Mission Control CAPCOMs communicate over a closed-circuit telephone system, which is the only audio link between the Habitat and MC. Buzzers are used to call a CAPCOM to the phone when their counterpart needs to contact them. In the Brahe, the CAPCOM phone is located on the Airlock side of the Interlock, while the Mission Control CAPCOM phone is located beside the CorelCam console.
