This modified version
of the standard EVA suit was designed to be used in high pressure
environments. To aid with movement in these kinds of environment,
all the major joints are powered using servo motors and the
suit has a shield system.
Utilising an oxygenated liquid
to supply air to the wearer, this suit can operate in environments
with pressures upto 5,000 millibars or five atmospheres. However,
this suit requires specialist training to deal with breathing
using an oxygenated liquid system.
Because of the power requirements
for this suit, the power pack is only capable of providing
life-support for six hours.
