A backup to the temperamental{{citation needed|date=September 2023}} [[Elektron (ISS)|''Elektron'']] system used on both the ISS and ''Mir'' is the ''Vika'' solid-fuel oxygen generator (SFOG), which contains a replaceable cartridge – a thin-walled steel tube with a three-part block of oxygen-releasing mixture based on [[lithium perchlorate]]. Two parts are tablets of the chemical mixture and the third one is the igniter tablet with a flash [[igniter]]. The igniter is struck by a firing pin when the device is activated. One cartridge releases {{convert|600|L|USgal}} of oxygen and burns for 5–20 minutes at {{convert|450|-|500|C|F}}.<ref>[http://www.molecularproducts.com/products_detail.php?id=2 Oxygen Generators].
