that repress valve into my suit was satisfactory
to keep me in a pressurized state and keep me
venti lated enough under normal operations .
Under tough operations though, the flow rate's
too low and you really heat up.
Yes, I think since it was an open loop system,
you had to keep from dumping all the oxygen
overboard, and had to go high enough to keep
it from dying from the heat. I think it was
a compromise system.
I thought it was well set up,
I have no com­

Primary o2 temperature--I didn't
have any comment on that.
No, neither did I.
The manual heater--I think that you used the
manual heater twice during EVA .
Twice during EVA for about five to six minutes
each time. It responded all right , but it didn't
go overboard, It got the temperature right back
up there, and I shut the thing off again.
