How will the Artemis astronauts go to the toilet in space?
When in zero gravity, managing bodily waste presents unique challenges. NASA scientists have invested over $23 million to develop a solution ahead of the Artemis II mission scheduled for launch later this week.
The result is the 'Universal Waste Management System,' designed to accommodate both stool and urine for women and men. Artemis II, marking the first lunar fly-around mission in more than 50 years, is set to launch on 1 April.
Building on the unmanned Artemis I mission in 2022, NASA's Artemis program aims to prepare for deep-space missions, with the long-term goal of reaching Mars in the 2030s.
