Cornell Scientists Develop Dune-Inspired Spacesuit to Recycle Urine into Drinking Water Within Minutes
Jul 12, 2024, 01:03 PM
Scientists from Cornell University have developed a new spacesuit inspired by the science-fiction series 'Dune' that can recycle astronauts' urine into clean drinking water within minutes. This innovative design, which includes a catheter, a backpack-sized filtration device, and a drink bag, aims to provide astronauts with a larger supply of water and a more comfortable way to manage biological waste, making lengthy spacewalks easier. The suit’s designers hope to deploy it by the end of the decade through NASA’s Artemis program, which focuses on prolonged habitation and work on another world. Additionally, the new suit could help astronauts ditch uncomfortable nappies.
