It is "hung up" (for want of a better phrase, in zero-g) afterwards to dry. To clarify, this has been done (by a crewmember who wanted to preserve some sentimental item, ISTR) but is not standard procedure. Standard procedure is to wear the clothes for about a week (undergaments less, outgarments more), and then stuff them in progress to be burned up. Water is currently in short supply, so I doubt the current crew will be doing much of this until the shuttle is back. (non-space followups trimmed) |
