26. If I lose power in my jetpack and drift, how long will it take for me to die? (A K2S Question)

From The Space Library

The jetpacks are only a backup to the tether primarily for an EVA performed on the ISS. Thus as long as the tether is still functioning, that will not happen at all. In the event that the tether does disconnect, there would be enough time to get to the astronaut, either with a vehicle or another crewmember.
