Abstract:
An engineering evaluation was conducted to select an optimum waste management system for collection, storage, and/or disposal of feces and urine in a space station under weightless conditions. Based on this study, a detailed design of an optimum waste management system was prepared for a 7-man, 15-day mission. Tests performed on a breadboard model of the feces collector demonstrated the feasibility of the selected approach.
