Check their website. Here's what I gleaned from that...
The vessel holds its sea level pressure. It is doubly redundant, same as the single container-space suit solution. There is no pressurization per se. They just let it leak. They bring in a small amount of oxygen to keep the o2 concentration steady. They filter off and dump C02. Bill Hale, in awe

This is an interesting solution considering that while the space trip takes only minutes, the craft spends more than an hour under the belly of the carrier plane. -- Pete
