Could be LOX (liquefied O2).

5 PSI? Aren't SCUBA tanks higher pressure than that? Typical HP
compressed gas cylinders are rated for up to 6000 PSIG. 2"
diameter x 12" long holds about 54 litres at 1800 PSIG (Someone
else will have to figure out how long that volume of gas would
last) and weighs 3.5 pounds.

Subject: [SHADO] UFO Space Suit question


| Where is the air supply for the space suits used in UFO (and
also
| Doppelganger)?
|
| I was watching "The Dalotek Affair" and was struck be the fact
that
| there are no backpacks on any of the space suits worn by wither
SHADO
| or Dalotek personnel. There are a few mall boxes on the chest
and left
| shoulder, but none seem large enough to hold a bottle containing
more
| than a few minutes worth of air. Even considering a pure O-2 mix
at 5
| PSI (or even a very efficient rebreather), the suits do not
appear to
| have the necessary resources for long forays on the lunar
surface, in
| which the Dalotek crew was obviously engaged.
|
| Was this an oversight on the part of the production crew, or is
there
| some technology of which I am unaware?
