Scientists were able to recover an incredible 98 percent of all water brought aboard the ISS by harvesting and filtrating astronauts’ breath, sweat, and yes ... pee.
will require constant access to potable water—a requirement neither environment is particularly known for. Because of this, researchers and astronauts need to get not only creative, but flexible, when it comes to water sources.
Previously, there wasn’t much that could be done with the brine, but breakthroughs for a new Brine Processor Assembly can now extract that remaining, usable water in a microgravity environment. To pull it off, the BPA runs the brine through a “special membrane technology” before subjecting it to warm, dry air to evaporate the water.
Williamson goes on to explain that the processing is “fundamentally similar” to some water distribution systems here on Earth, only within a microgravity environment. As gross as it may sound to some, the water that is reclaimed, filtered, and cleaned from astronauts’ urine aboard the ISS is
