New Water Reclamation System Headed for Duty on Space Station
wrote in message ... RELEASE: 08-119 NEW WATER RECLAMATION SYSTEM HEADED FOR DUTY ON SPACE STATION The new Water Recovery System, or WRS, is the second part of a comprehensive life support system for the station. It is scheduled to fly aboard space shuttle Endeavour on STS-126 targeted for later this year. The first part of the system, the Oxygen Generation System, was launched on shuttle Discovery in July 2006. The two systems are part of NASA's Regenerative Environmental Control and Life Support System, or ECLSS, for the station. Cool. This is more ISS hardware that will prove useful in the long run for something like a lunar base or a Mars mission. This is good stuff. Jeff -- A clever person solves a problem.
