[PSUBS-MAILIST] Shell, downsizing

Sun Dec 2 22:49:47 EST 2018

Hi Rick,

Shackleton carries two 80cf tanks of O2. The ABS requirement is 72 hours
plus mission time, with consumption calculated at a rate of 1cf/man hour,
so one of these tanks per person satisfies them. The tanks are 7" in
diameter and about 34" tall including the valve. Sorry, can't recall the
price. The system of swapping out takes care of hydro, maintenance, rust,
etc.

Best,
Alec
