NASA was able to recycle 98 percent of the urine and sweat of astronauts on the ISS. This is a major achievement for long space missions. it happened.
NASA, International Space Station (ISS) has achieved significant success, has passed a critical milestone for future long-duration space missions. As you can imagine, constantly transporting fresh water to the ISS is neither easy nor cheap. That’s why recycling the water taken to the ISS is vital. great progress in this NASA, Now It recycles 98 percent of the urine and sweat of astronauts staying on the US section of the ISS. Since this recycled water is drinkable, there is no need to constantly bring fresh water to the astronauts. Of course, if there is a big problem, it is possible to take water to the ISS, but In long-duration space missions, this is completely impossible. Therefore, achieving 98 percent recycling is considered very key for the future, with ISS previously reported to have recycling levels between 93 percent and 94 percent. The institution achieves this success with the Environmental Control and Life Support System (ECLSS) on the ISS, as a part of ECLSS is quoted. It even captures moisture created by station crews as they perform their daily duties.. of the system “UPA” section directly filters astronaut urine, cleans it and makes it drinkable. part of the team that manages the life support systems of the International Space Station. Christopher Brown of NASA about success, “This is a very important step forward in the evolution of life support systems.” said and added: “Let’s say you collect 100 pounds of water at the station. You lose about two pounds of that, and the remaining 98 percent just keeps coming back. Keeping this running is quite an achievement.” speaking on the subject Jill Williamson, NASA’s ECLSS system administrator whereas, “The less water and oxygen we have to carry on missions, the more science equipment we can add to spacecraft” says.

International Space Station He will not be with us after 2030. The station is difficult but if there is no surprise change Will retire by 2031. The ISS, which has been in great service for many years but has now reached retirement age, will be destroyed by being safely dropped to Earth, according to the previous statement. Of course, NASA, which does not want such a large structure to circulate uncontrollably in orbit, is making plans for the process and has set a budget of 180 million dollars for these plans in the past months. The plan to drop the ISS to Earth “attractive” Aiming to make the ISS via a satellite / spacecraft to be used as a spacecraft, the ISS is specifically located in the Pacific Ocean. “Point Nemo” The spacecraft called will sink into the cemetery. After the ISS, the USA will not leave the low earth orbit completely, and private space stations will replace the ISS. There are many different companies working on this right now, including the Voyager, Nanoracks and Lockheed Martin trio.
