Space program contractor Hamilton Sundstrand is seeking urine from workers
at the Johnson Space Center in Houston as part of its work on the new Orion
space capsule that would eventually take astronauts to the moon, according
to an internal memo posted on the Web site Nasawatch.com.
The need is voluminous: 30 liters a day, which translates into nearly 8
gallons. Even on weekends.
Designers of the Orion, which will park unoccupied in space for up to six
months while astronauts work on the moon, have to solve a pressing issue of
getting rid of stored urine, said John Lewis, NASA's head of life support
systems for Orion.
"Urine is a mess because urine is full of solids," Lewis said. Those solids
clog the venting system for dumping pee, so keeping the waste disposal
system clear is "really a challenge," he said.
NASA has a long standing tradition of collecting samples from its workers to
help design better space toilets because "you can't make fake urine," Lewis
said.
