Lower pressure allows for greater mobility, but requires the suit occupant to breathe pure oxygen for a time before going into this lower pressure, to avoid decompression sickness.
* Mobility. Movement is typically opposed by the pressure of the suit; mobility is achieved by careful joint design. See the Design concepts section.
* Supply of breathable oxygen and elimination of carbon dioxide; these gases are exchanged with the spacecraft or a Portable Life Support System
