Why not send drinking water in space? Why do astronauts drink their urine and drink?

You may have often heard that astronauts drink a urine filter in space. Today we will tell you how true this is and why astronauts do not carry water in space and drink filtered urine.

The world of space is full of secrets; Scientists are constantly doing new research to understand and solve these secrets. The result of scientists' research is that today man has reached the moon but did you know that when an astronaut is sent to space, he has a lot of precautions, such as food items, the weight of the luggage in the spacecraft, and if stuck for a long time. Also water system.

Often during the space mission it happens that astronauts go for a short mission, but for some reason they get stuck there. For example, in June last year, NASA astronauts Sunita Williams and Butch Wilmore went to an 8 -day mission but they have been trapped there for more than 200 days due to technical shortcomings.

Now the question is how astronauts use toilets in space. Let you know that the toilets present in the spacecraft are very different. Due to zero gravity, astronauts in space have been made completely handy and foot -catching toilets for them. Not only that, a special vacuum has been installed that pulls the toilet waste and taken to the tank.

The use of water in space
Let me tell you that a special vacuum pipe has also been installed in the spacecraft. In addition, urine and feces are kept in a separate tank in space. The reason behind this is that a separate urine tank is recycled and then used.

Recycling urine in space is necessary. Because it is very expensive to bring water there. According to the data, it will cost $ 83,000 to deliver a gallon of water from Earth to space station. One astronaut requires 12 gallons of water per day for drinking and other purposes. This will increase the cost of the mission and send too much water at once. Because this will increase the weight of the aircraft. This is the reason why scientists have installed a filter system through which the urine is filtered and produced in potable water.
