A closed passive system independent of support from the spacecraft or its crew was developed to house five pocket mice for their flight on Apollo XVII. The reaction of potassium superoxide with carbon dioxide and water vapor to produce oxygen provided a habitable atmosphere within the experiment package. The performance of the system and the ability of the mice to survive the key preflight tests gave reasonable assurance that to mice would also withstand the Apollo flight.
一个独立于航天器或其乘员支持的封闭被动系统被开发出来，用于容纳五只袖珍小鼠，以便它们搭乘阿波罗十七号飞行。超氧化钾与二氧化碳和水蒸气反应产生氧气，在实验包内提供了一个可居住的大气环境。该系统的性能以及小鼠在关键飞行前测试中的存活能力，让人有理由相信小鼠也能经受住阿波罗飞行。
