NASA's breakthrough in recycling urine and sweat for long space missions.
TL;DR
NASA has achieved a 98% water restoration rate on the International Space Station (ISS) using an advanced system that recycles astronauts’ urine and sweat into drinkable water. The breakthrough was made possible using the subsystems that are part of the Environment Control and Life Support Systems (ECLSS), which is aimed at recycling consumables such as food, air and water for further use in space. This development holds immense potential for future long interplanetary missions.
