Eaton’s primary and secondary oxygen regulators are part of the portable life support unit of an astronaut’s extravehicular mobility unit (EMU), more commonly known as a spacesuit. These motor-controlled regulators are used to manage ventilation pressure within the spacesuit assembly to accommodate an astronaut's oxygen demand or when the primary pressure control module becomes disabled.
