'Dune'-Inspired Spacesuit Recycles Urine into Drinking Water within Minutes
Jul 12, 2024, 06:21 AM
Scientists have developed a new spacesuit inspired by the sci-fi epic 'Dune' that can recycle astronauts' urine into drinking water within minutes. This innovative design, referred to as a real-life 'stillsuit,' aims to improve the efficiency and sustainability of space missions. Researchers from Cornell University are leading this project, which could soon help astronauts avoid the discomfort of wearing nappies during spacewalks. The spacesuit's water-recycling capability represents a significant advancement in space technology, potentially transforming how astronauts manage resources in space. The research is published in Frontiersin.
