NASA said that engineers yesterday duplicated one of the two
problems with the space suits aboard STS-5.  They reproduced
a pressure regulator failure; the regulator, supposed to provide
4.2 pounds psi pressure, only supplied 3.7 ppsi, the level it
gave on the flight.  The other problem, the failure of an
oxygen circulator fan, will be the subject of today's tests.
