How NASA Recycles 98% Of Astronaut Pee & Sweat

The US Space agency says astronauts aboard the International Space Station have achieved a water recovery rate of 98 per cent. That near perfect recovery was achieved using the state of the art Environmental Control and Life Support Systems. The technology aboard the ISS isn't new, but it's improved over time. Advanced dehumidifiers suck the moisture out of the air, some of which comes from astronauts’ breath and sweat. The Urine Processor Assembly is responsible for recovering water from urine, which is then filtered to ultimately become clean drinking water.
