International Space Station: NASA astronauts have achieved great success. Now they don’t have to deal with the problem of water in outer space thousands of kilometers away from Earth. After this NASA discovery, 98 percent of the water in the International Space Station (ISS) can be restored. After this great success, now it will be easier for astronauts to stay and work in ISS. NASA astronauts have also succeeded in growing crops.
America’s well-known space agency NASA said last week that efforts are underway to install a life support system in the ISS. Things like water, air and food are being tested on how to restore or even recycle. The space station has an Environmental Control and Life Support System (ECLSS), with the help of which 98 percent of water can now be restored. Water can be made from the urine and sweat of crew members. A combination of ECLSS hardware that also works for water recovery.
How does urine and sweat make water?
For example a water recovery system dirty Collects water and sends it to Water Processor Assembly (WPA). By which astronauts get potable water. According to NASA, when crew members breathe and sweat, it creates humidity in the cabin. A water recovery system meanwhile uses a dehumidifier and absorbs this moisture. Similarly, the urine processor assembly can help make potable water from urine.
Crops can now be grown in the ISS
NASA astronauts in the space station three years ago. Succeeded in growing crops. It was researched for years and then an astronaut named Kate Rubins succeeded in this research. Scientists have also harvested crops here. Sending things like water, food into outer space is considered an expensive deal. Due to which the astronauts have to face many problems even to go to the moon and mars. Astronauts have to rely entirely on resources management, recycling and restore and regeneration. But both inventions are likely to reduce costs and make travel more enjoyable.
