1 00:00:04,150 --> 00:00:02,790 hi welcome to the international space 2 00:00:06,389 --> 00:00:04,160 station flight control room it's been a 3 00:00:08,549 --> 00:00:06,399 busy day today and we're very very happy 4 00:00:10,230 --> 00:00:08,559 to be here for uh 5 00:00:11,669 --> 00:00:10,240 talking to some of our 6 00:00:13,509 --> 00:00:11,679 students that are actually out here at 7 00:00:15,190 --> 00:00:13,519 nasa johnson space student space center 8 00:00:16,710 --> 00:00:15,200 they are the high school aerospace 9 00:00:18,150 --> 00:00:16,720 scholars and also the pre-service 10 00:00:21,189 --> 00:00:18,160 teachers today we're going to be talking 11 00:00:23,029 --> 00:00:21,199 about a very very popular topic 12 00:00:24,710 --> 00:00:23,039 it's one of the letters of the alphabet 13 00:00:27,830 --> 00:00:24,720 lmnop 14 00:00:29,990 --> 00:00:27,840 so today i have our guest 15 00:00:32,150 --> 00:00:30,000 julie mitchell she is the project 16 00:00:33,830 --> 00:00:32,160 engineer of the water recovery system 17 00:00:35,430 --> 00:00:33,840 welcome julie and thank you for coming 18 00:00:38,389 --> 00:00:35,440 thank you very much for having me all 19 00:00:41,110 --> 00:00:38,399 right well with that let's get going 20 00:00:43,030 --> 00:00:41,120 do we have our first question samantha 21 00:00:45,910 --> 00:00:43,040 yes hi my name is samantha and i'm with 22 00:00:48,069 --> 00:00:45,920 psti i was wondering if astronauts need 23 00:00:49,670 --> 00:00:48,079 antibiotics in space how would they be 24 00:00:51,750 --> 00:00:49,680 administered 25 00:00:54,069 --> 00:00:51,760 hi samantha um 26 00:00:55,750 --> 00:00:54,079 in terms of any kind of medicine that 27 00:00:56,790 --> 00:00:55,760 the astronauts need when they're in 28 00:00:58,630 --> 00:00:56,800 space 29 00:00:59,830 --> 00:00:58,640 they actually have a medical kit that 30 00:01:01,590 --> 00:00:59,840 they bring up with them and they 31 00:01:04,229 --> 00:01:01,600 actually have medicine stored on the 32 00:01:05,750 --> 00:01:04,239 space station so if they ever get sick 33 00:01:08,149 --> 00:01:05,760 they can actually 34 00:01:09,990 --> 00:01:08,159 use that stockpile of medicine that they 35 00:01:12,149 --> 00:01:10,000 have on orbit now if something were to 36 00:01:14,390 --> 00:01:12,159 come up where the astronauts were very 37 00:01:15,910 --> 00:01:14,400 very sick and the medicine that they had 38 00:01:17,990 --> 00:01:15,920 on orbit wouldn't work there is the 39 00:01:19,749 --> 00:01:18,000 option of bringing the crew members down 40 00:01:21,670 --> 00:01:19,759 for them to receive medical treatment on 41 00:01:23,910 --> 00:01:21,680 earth but they do have 42 00:01:26,630 --> 00:01:23,920 quite a bit of medicine on orbit 43 00:01:33,270 --> 00:01:26,640 to help them if they ever get sick 44 00:01:36,789 --> 00:01:35,749 hi my name is lauren and i was wondering 45 00:01:39,109 --> 00:01:36,799 how does an 46 00:01:41,590 --> 00:01:39,119 astronaut keep safe from pathogens and 47 00:01:43,510 --> 00:01:41,600 bacteria while in space 48 00:01:45,910 --> 00:01:43,520 that's a really good question 49 00:01:47,350 --> 00:01:45,920 before the astronauts go up into space 50 00:01:49,670 --> 00:01:47,360 they actually are quarantined for a 51 00:01:51,270 --> 00:01:49,680 certain period of time i believe it's a 52 00:01:52,870 --> 00:01:51,280 week or two weeks 53 00:01:54,950 --> 00:01:52,880 and that way before they even go into 54 00:01:56,389 --> 00:01:54,960 space they've already been isolated from 55 00:01:58,630 --> 00:01:56,399 a lot of the bacteria and a lot of the 56 00:01:59,990 --> 00:01:58,640 pathogens that might make them sick when 57 00:02:01,910 --> 00:02:00,000 they're here on earth so that way they 58 00:02:03,830 --> 00:02:01,920 don't carry those bugs up with them into 59 00:02:08,710 --> 00:02:03,840 space 60 00:02:11,190 --> 00:02:08,720 clean 61 00:02:13,030 --> 00:02:11,200 they actually do a lot of disinfection 62 00:02:15,430 --> 00:02:13,040 of different surfaces on orbit they have 63 00:02:17,350 --> 00:02:15,440 filters that filter the air and just to 64 00:02:19,350 --> 00:02:17,360 make sure they actually have different 65 00:02:22,390 --> 00:02:19,360 microbial monitoring kits that they use 66 00:02:24,229 --> 00:02:22,400 to check for any bacteria any pathogens 67 00:02:26,070 --> 00:02:24,239 that might be floating around in the air 68 00:02:28,470 --> 00:02:26,080 they check different surfaces to see if 69 00:02:30,790 --> 00:02:28,480 they have any growth on those surfaces 70 00:02:33,589 --> 00:02:30,800 and they also check all the different 71 00:02:34,949 --> 00:02:33,599 hardware where they might get water or 72 00:02:36,390 --> 00:02:34,959 where their food might touch to make 73 00:02:38,229 --> 00:02:36,400 sure that they don't have any 74 00:02:40,070 --> 00:02:38,239 harmful bacteria or any pathogens 75 00:02:41,430 --> 00:02:40,080 growing on those surfaces as well and so 76 00:02:44,229 --> 00:02:41,440 far there haven't been any issues in 77 00:02:45,589 --> 00:02:44,239 that regard so it's a good thing 78 00:02:50,550 --> 00:02:45,599 a very good question do we have another 79 00:02:55,030 --> 00:02:53,589 hi my name is alexandra daglio from psti 80 00:02:56,790 --> 00:02:55,040 i was wondering what's the most 81 00:02:58,630 --> 00:02:56,800 complicated project you've ever worked 82 00:03:01,910 --> 00:02:58,640 on 83 00:03:04,070 --> 00:03:01,920 um we do a lot of complicated projects 84 00:03:05,830 --> 00:03:04,080 so the area i work in is actually 85 00:03:08,149 --> 00:03:05,840 advanced water recovery systems 86 00:03:10,630 --> 00:03:08,159 technology development and so we 87 00:03:12,710 --> 00:03:10,640 actually do the next generation of water 88 00:03:14,949 --> 00:03:12,720 recycling technologies for space flight 89 00:03:16,710 --> 00:03:14,959 so right now we have a distillation 90 00:03:17,670 --> 00:03:16,720 system that we use on the space station 91 00:03:19,430 --> 00:03:17,680 but 92 00:03:20,949 --> 00:03:19,440 the work that i do actually looks at 93 00:03:22,630 --> 00:03:20,959 what we're going to do next and if there 94 00:03:24,869 --> 00:03:22,640 are other technologies that might work 95 00:03:27,430 --> 00:03:24,879 better once we're on a planetary surface 96 00:03:28,869 --> 00:03:27,440 for instance so the most complicated 97 00:03:30,630 --> 00:03:28,879 project i would say is actually one that 98 00:03:33,270 --> 00:03:30,640 i'm working on right now and it's called 99 00:03:36,070 --> 00:03:33,280 the alternative water processor and what 100 00:03:38,309 --> 00:03:36,080 it does is it actually combines a 101 00:03:39,270 --> 00:03:38,319 biological water processor in a membrane 102 00:03:42,149 --> 00:03:39,280 system 103 00:03:44,550 --> 00:03:42,159 to get the water from waste water to 104 00:03:46,309 --> 00:03:44,560 potable and so the way that biological 105 00:03:49,750 --> 00:03:46,319 water processor works is we actually 106 00:03:51,509 --> 00:03:49,760 have specific species of bacteria that 107 00:03:53,350 --> 00:03:51,519 actually feed off of the contaminants 108 00:03:55,670 --> 00:03:53,360 that you find in wastewater so they feed 109 00:03:57,429 --> 00:03:55,680 off of the urea that you find in urine 110 00:04:00,550 --> 00:03:57,439 they feed off of the surfactants that 111 00:04:02,309 --> 00:04:00,560 you find in soap and gray water and so 112 00:04:04,630 --> 00:04:02,319 those bacteria 113 00:04:07,350 --> 00:04:04,640 are specially selected so that they can 114 00:04:09,670 --> 00:04:07,360 actually convert those contaminants into 115 00:04:11,509 --> 00:04:09,680 nitrogen gas carbon dioxide and water 116 00:04:13,350 --> 00:04:11,519 which is like 117 00:04:15,110 --> 00:04:13,360 excellent for space flight 118 00:04:17,349 --> 00:04:15,120 downstream of that we have a membrane 119 00:04:18,710 --> 00:04:17,359 system that deals with all the inorganic 120 00:04:21,349 --> 00:04:18,720 so all the salts that you have in your 121 00:04:23,110 --> 00:04:21,359 urine like calcium sodium sulfates 122 00:04:24,629 --> 00:04:23,120 phosphates that kind of thing those 123 00:04:26,070 --> 00:04:24,639 things get removed by the membrane 124 00:04:27,590 --> 00:04:26,080 system and so 125 00:04:30,310 --> 00:04:27,600 what comes out of that system we're 126 00:04:32,550 --> 00:04:30,320 expecting uh will be water that's nearly 127 00:04:34,629 --> 00:04:32,560 potable and so that's an incredibly 128 00:04:37,270 --> 00:04:34,639 large complex piece of hardware our 129 00:04:38,950 --> 00:04:37,280 entire team is working on it and so um 130 00:04:41,030 --> 00:04:38,960 it's it's very complex but it's also 131 00:04:47,670 --> 00:04:41,040 very exciting as well 132 00:04:51,990 --> 00:04:49,270 hi my name is stephanie carroll and i'm 133 00:04:53,670 --> 00:04:52,000 from psti program and my question is 134 00:04:55,430 --> 00:04:53,680 what is the process of pre-treating 135 00:04:58,230 --> 00:04:55,440 urine 136 00:04:59,510 --> 00:04:58,240 that's a really good question um 137 00:05:00,870 --> 00:04:59,520 so when 138 00:05:04,310 --> 00:05:00,880 let me step back a little bit and 139 00:05:07,270 --> 00:05:04,320 explain why we pre-treat urine so 140 00:05:08,710 --> 00:05:07,280 when a astronaut urine urinates 141 00:05:10,790 --> 00:05:08,720 in space 142 00:05:12,950 --> 00:05:10,800 we don't necessarily get to recycle the 143 00:05:15,029 --> 00:05:12,960 water from that urine immediately and so 144 00:05:17,510 --> 00:05:15,039 sometimes that urine can sit around for 145 00:05:19,830 --> 00:05:17,520 a couple of days up to a couple of weeks 146 00:05:21,590 --> 00:05:19,840 and so what we want to do is we want to 147 00:05:23,270 --> 00:05:21,600 make sure that that urine doesn't break 148 00:05:24,870 --> 00:05:23,280 down chemically 149 00:05:25,830 --> 00:05:24,880 because when it breaks down it can 150 00:05:27,749 --> 00:05:25,840 produce 151 00:05:29,189 --> 00:05:27,759 toxic gases like ammonia gas that you 152 00:05:30,790 --> 00:05:29,199 don't want building up on your 153 00:05:33,189 --> 00:05:30,800 spacecraft 154 00:05:35,350 --> 00:05:33,199 also we don't want microbial growth on 155 00:05:37,270 --> 00:05:35,360 the spacecraft so if you've ever put a 156 00:05:38,950 --> 00:05:37,280 piece of pizza or something in your 157 00:05:40,469 --> 00:05:38,960 fridge and you let it sit there for a 158 00:05:42,870 --> 00:05:40,479 long time and you get a piece of you 159 00:05:43,830 --> 00:05:42,880 know a big mold growing on the surface 160 00:05:44,870 --> 00:05:43,840 of it 161 00:05:46,150 --> 00:05:44,880 that's the kind of thing we want to 162 00:05:47,590 --> 00:05:46,160 avoid on the space station if you 163 00:05:49,830 --> 00:05:47,600 imagine a big 164 00:05:52,550 --> 00:05:49,840 fungal mat or a piece of mold in a tube 165 00:05:54,469 --> 00:05:52,560 that's about this big around 166 00:05:56,629 --> 00:05:54,479 it can get clogged very quickly and so 167 00:05:58,870 --> 00:05:56,639 that can actually damage the hardware to 168 00:06:01,430 --> 00:05:58,880 the point where we can't recycle water 169 00:06:03,909 --> 00:06:01,440 so we pre-treat the urine to prevent the 170 00:06:06,629 --> 00:06:03,919 chemical breakdown of the urine and to 171 00:06:08,309 --> 00:06:06,639 inhibit microbial growth so 172 00:06:09,830 --> 00:06:08,319 the pre-treatment process is actually 173 00:06:11,270 --> 00:06:09,840 pretty straightforward we have a tank 174 00:06:15,029 --> 00:06:11,280 that's filled with the pre-treatment 175 00:06:17,029 --> 00:06:15,039 fluid which is about the most 176 00:06:18,469 --> 00:06:17,039 one of the most powerful disinfectants 177 00:06:20,550 --> 00:06:18,479 that you can have 178 00:06:22,469 --> 00:06:20,560 it's a mixture of sulfuric acid and 179 00:06:23,909 --> 00:06:22,479 chromic acid so you don't want to get 180 00:06:26,309 --> 00:06:23,919 this on your skin you don't want to 181 00:06:28,629 --> 00:06:26,319 drink it the astronauts don't drink it 182 00:06:30,629 --> 00:06:28,639 but we put it in the urine to prevent 183 00:06:32,550 --> 00:06:30,639 microbial growth until we can extract 184 00:06:34,710 --> 00:06:32,560 the water from that urine and so we have 185 00:06:36,790 --> 00:06:34,720 a tank full of that fluid and whenever 186 00:06:38,550 --> 00:06:36,800 an astronaut urinates a certain amount 187 00:06:40,070 --> 00:06:38,560 of that fluid is injected into the urine 188 00:06:42,629 --> 00:06:40,080 each time and then it goes into the 189 00:06:43,749 --> 00:06:42,639 storage tank um to wait until it's 190 00:06:45,110 --> 00:06:43,759 processed 191 00:06:47,029 --> 00:06:45,120 very good question and that was a 192 00:06:49,029 --> 00:06:47,039 fascinating answer and i bet none of you 193 00:06:50,710 --> 00:06:49,039 have ever seen the moldy pizza in your 194 00:06:53,270 --> 00:06:50,720 fridge 195 00:06:55,749 --> 00:06:53,280 next question 196 00:06:57,270 --> 00:06:55,759 hi my name is whitney my question is how 197 00:06:58,950 --> 00:06:57,280 is the urine contained until it's 198 00:07:01,830 --> 00:06:58,960 processed from the time it leaves the 199 00:07:05,110 --> 00:07:01,840 astronaut to when it is 200 00:07:07,909 --> 00:07:05,120 uh that's a good question actually 201 00:07:10,150 --> 00:07:07,919 so when the astronaut urinates there is 202 00:07:11,589 --> 00:07:10,160 a fan that actually sucks the urine down 203 00:07:13,589 --> 00:07:11,599 through the tube 204 00:07:15,029 --> 00:07:13,599 where the astronaut urinates and that 205 00:07:16,870 --> 00:07:15,039 goes through 206 00:07:19,350 --> 00:07:16,880 a separator that removes the gas from 207 00:07:22,629 --> 00:07:19,360 the urine and then it goes into a 208 00:07:24,790 --> 00:07:22,639 storage tank and depending on 209 00:07:26,150 --> 00:07:24,800 how much urine we've collected 210 00:07:27,830 --> 00:07:26,160 that tank 211 00:07:30,070 --> 00:07:27,840 will actually 212 00:07:32,950 --> 00:07:30,080 feed urine into our water processing 213 00:07:35,110 --> 00:07:32,960 hardware and so 214 00:07:37,510 --> 00:07:35,120 like i mentioned before that tank that 215 00:07:40,150 --> 00:07:37,520 water uh the urine that's in the tank 216 00:07:42,469 --> 00:07:40,160 can sit for a few days up to a few weeks 217 00:07:43,430 --> 00:07:42,479 before it's processed and so 218 00:07:45,189 --> 00:07:43,440 um 219 00:07:47,830 --> 00:07:45,199 you know the pre-treatment does its work 220 00:07:49,589 --> 00:07:47,840 really in that tank and then 221 00:07:51,270 --> 00:07:49,599 from there it feeds into our distiller 222 00:07:53,510 --> 00:07:51,280 that actually removes the water from the 223 00:07:58,790 --> 00:07:53,520 urine 224 00:08:04,230 --> 00:08:01,510 uh hello there i'm jerry george and 225 00:08:06,790 --> 00:08:04,240 we're from the haas program and i would 226 00:08:09,270 --> 00:08:06,800 like to know what happens if someone has 227 00:08:12,070 --> 00:08:09,280 an infection that goes to their urine is 228 00:08:13,749 --> 00:08:12,080 it safe to drink and more specifically 229 00:08:15,430 --> 00:08:13,759 how do they figure out how to drink 230 00:08:17,749 --> 00:08:15,440 urine 231 00:08:20,629 --> 00:08:17,759 that's a good question 232 00:08:22,390 --> 00:08:20,639 so like i mentioned before 233 00:08:24,710 --> 00:08:22,400 the pre-treatment does an excellent job 234 00:08:25,510 --> 00:08:24,720 of preventing any microbial growth and 235 00:08:26,950 --> 00:08:25,520 so 236 00:08:28,150 --> 00:08:26,960 it pretty much kills everything that's 237 00:08:30,790 --> 00:08:28,160 in the urine 238 00:08:32,709 --> 00:08:30,800 we haven't had any issues in terms of 239 00:08:34,630 --> 00:08:32,719 pathogens making their way through the 240 00:08:36,310 --> 00:08:34,640 water recovery system so that chromic 241 00:08:39,350 --> 00:08:36,320 acid and that sulfuric acid does a 242 00:08:42,070 --> 00:08:39,360 really good job of killing any pathogens 243 00:08:44,870 --> 00:08:42,080 if you've ever seen erin brockovich 244 00:08:46,470 --> 00:08:44,880 the people in that movie who get sick 245 00:08:48,790 --> 00:08:46,480 they actually have hexavalent chromium 246 00:08:50,710 --> 00:08:48,800 in their water that's the stuff that we 247 00:08:53,590 --> 00:08:50,720 put in the urine to kill 248 00:08:55,509 --> 00:08:53,600 everything that could grow in that urine 249 00:08:57,110 --> 00:08:55,519 so as soon as it gets dosed with that 250 00:08:58,870 --> 00:08:57,120 pre-treatment 251 00:09:00,870 --> 00:08:58,880 any pathogens or any infections that 252 00:09:03,110 --> 00:09:00,880 might have been in there are essentially 253 00:09:05,990 --> 00:09:03,120 eliminated and so 254 00:09:07,350 --> 00:09:06,000 from that wastewater tank it goes into a 255 00:09:11,110 --> 00:09:07,360 distiller 256 00:09:13,030 --> 00:09:11,120 urine slightly to the point where you 257 00:09:15,750 --> 00:09:13,040 have water vapor that's produced and 258 00:09:17,269 --> 00:09:15,760 that vapor is actually what's extracted 259 00:09:19,670 --> 00:09:17,279 from the urine and condensed in a 260 00:09:21,190 --> 00:09:19,680 separate container and then from there 261 00:09:23,829 --> 00:09:21,200 it's not completely potable we still 262 00:09:25,829 --> 00:09:23,839 have a few more steps that are followed 263 00:09:27,350 --> 00:09:25,839 there are ion exchange beds that that 264 00:09:29,269 --> 00:09:27,360 water goes through 265 00:09:31,350 --> 00:09:29,279 and then we add a biocide just to make 266 00:09:33,430 --> 00:09:31,360 sure that once it is potable we still 267 00:09:36,070 --> 00:09:33,440 don't have any downstream contamination 268 00:09:39,030 --> 00:09:36,080 of that water and so that's that's the 269 00:09:41,030 --> 00:09:39,040 full series of events um 270 00:09:42,870 --> 00:09:41,040 to to remove any pathogens from the 271 00:09:45,350 --> 00:09:42,880 urine and to get it from 272 00:09:49,990 --> 00:09:45,360 wastewater to potable 273 00:09:53,910 --> 00:09:51,910 hi i'm colton and i'm from the the haas 274 00:09:55,670 --> 00:09:53,920 program and stepping away from urine for 275 00:09:57,590 --> 00:09:55,680 a second um if there's an emergency 276 00:09:59,030 --> 00:09:57,600 situation that requires astronauts to 277 00:10:01,590 --> 00:09:59,040 evacuate on the iss what are the 278 00:10:03,829 --> 00:10:01,600 procedures for them to follow 279 00:10:05,509 --> 00:10:03,839 um that's a really good question 280 00:10:06,790 --> 00:10:05,519 as part of their training actually here 281 00:10:09,269 --> 00:10:06,800 at jsc 282 00:10:10,630 --> 00:10:09,279 they do a lot of emergency evacuation 283 00:10:12,870 --> 00:10:10,640 procedures and they have different 284 00:10:15,509 --> 00:10:12,880 procedures they follow depending on the 285 00:10:19,190 --> 00:10:15,519 type of emergency if they have a fire if 286 00:10:20,870 --> 00:10:19,200 they have a cabin leak things like that 287 00:10:22,870 --> 00:10:20,880 they practice that quite a bit here on 288 00:10:25,030 --> 00:10:22,880 the ground now the first thing they're 289 00:10:26,790 --> 00:10:25,040 going to try to do is recover the space 290 00:10:29,030 --> 00:10:26,800 station in the case of an emergency so 291 00:10:30,949 --> 00:10:29,040 that they don't have to evacuate but in 292 00:10:32,949 --> 00:10:30,959 the instance they do have to evacuate 293 00:10:34,230 --> 00:10:32,959 they do always have 294 00:10:37,190 --> 00:10:34,240 a lifeboat 295 00:10:38,870 --> 00:10:37,200 we call it so a soyuz spacecraft that's 296 00:10:40,790 --> 00:10:38,880 docked to the space station for them to 297 00:10:42,310 --> 00:10:40,800 get into and return to earth in case of 298 00:10:45,430 --> 00:10:42,320 an emergency 299 00:10:48,230 --> 00:10:45,440 very good and also they do periodically 300 00:10:50,470 --> 00:10:48,240 while they're on board they uh they also 301 00:10:52,949 --> 00:10:50,480 participate in onboard training so they 302 00:10:55,750 --> 00:10:52,959 can maintain that proficiency and their 303 00:10:56,470 --> 00:10:55,760 skills and be ready for if an emergency 304 00:10:58,829 --> 00:10:56,480 were 305 00:11:01,750 --> 00:10:58,839 to occur good 306 00:11:04,230 --> 00:11:01,760 question hi my name is deanna and i'm 307 00:11:06,150 --> 00:11:04,240 with the haas program and my question is 308 00:11:08,230 --> 00:11:06,160 what are you currently doing to improve 309 00:11:10,310 --> 00:11:08,240 the efficiency rate of the 310 00:11:13,030 --> 00:11:10,320 urine recycling system 311 00:11:14,790 --> 00:11:13,040 that's a really good question too 312 00:11:15,990 --> 00:11:14,800 we actually have a project going on 313 00:11:18,630 --> 00:11:16,000 right now 314 00:11:21,110 --> 00:11:18,640 um to help increase the water recovery 315 00:11:23,110 --> 00:11:21,120 rate on the space station up to 85 316 00:11:25,350 --> 00:11:23,120 percent originally we were planning to 317 00:11:27,750 --> 00:11:25,360 start out with 85 but what actually 318 00:11:30,389 --> 00:11:27,760 happened was the astronauts urine had a 319 00:11:33,350 --> 00:11:30,399 lot more calcium than we expected and so 320 00:11:35,590 --> 00:11:33,360 that calcium combined with the sulfate 321 00:11:37,269 --> 00:11:35,600 from our sulfuric acid pre-treatment and 322 00:11:39,509 --> 00:11:37,279 actually precipitated out in our 323 00:11:42,550 --> 00:11:39,519 distiller and 324 00:11:44,069 --> 00:11:42,560 that precipitate is called gypsum and 325 00:11:46,630 --> 00:11:44,079 it's the same stuff you have in like 326 00:11:48,790 --> 00:11:46,640 drywall for instance so everybody's seen 327 00:11:49,910 --> 00:11:48,800 gypsum 328 00:11:51,509 --> 00:11:49,920 and so 329 00:11:53,750 --> 00:11:51,519 one of the technologies actually several 330 00:11:57,030 --> 00:11:53,760 of the technologies we're looking at now 331 00:11:59,110 --> 00:11:57,040 are to either remove the calcium or 332 00:12:01,110 --> 00:11:59,120 replace that sulfuric acid with a 333 00:12:03,190 --> 00:12:01,120 different pre-treatment so that we don't 334 00:12:05,590 --> 00:12:03,200 have that precipitation problem 335 00:12:07,750 --> 00:12:05,600 we actually have two technologies one 336 00:12:09,590 --> 00:12:07,760 for calcium and one to kind of mitigate 337 00:12:11,590 --> 00:12:09,600 the sulfate that have both been 338 00:12:13,750 --> 00:12:11,600 demonstrated to work very well and allow 339 00:12:15,430 --> 00:12:13,760 us to get up to 85 percent 340 00:12:16,710 --> 00:12:15,440 the space station program is leaning 341 00:12:19,030 --> 00:12:16,720 towards the 342 00:12:20,230 --> 00:12:19,040 the alternative to the sulfate and so 343 00:12:22,150 --> 00:12:20,240 we're actually in the process of 344 00:12:23,590 --> 00:12:22,160 pursuing that for flight right now so 345 00:12:24,389 --> 00:12:23,600 we're hoping that within the next year 346 00:12:26,470 --> 00:12:24,399 or two 347 00:12:30,230 --> 00:12:26,480 we can get the space station from 75 348 00:12:34,470 --> 00:12:30,240 percent up to 85 percent water recovery 349 00:12:39,350 --> 00:12:36,389 hello my name is james kwon from haas 350 00:12:41,110 --> 00:12:39,360 program and you said the after 351 00:12:44,069 --> 00:12:41,120 filtration of urine which is eighty 352 00:12:46,870 --> 00:12:44,079 percent required recycled um what are 353 00:12:48,389 --> 00:12:46,880 they using the final twenty percent 354 00:12:50,389 --> 00:12:48,399 for 355 00:12:53,030 --> 00:12:50,399 that's a good question um so the 356 00:12:55,269 --> 00:12:53,040 remainder of what doesn't get removed 357 00:12:56,310 --> 00:12:55,279 from the urine is called a brine 358 00:12:59,509 --> 00:12:56,320 and 359 00:13:02,790 --> 00:12:59,519 right now that brine put it's put into 360 00:13:05,350 --> 00:13:02,800 brine storage containers and those are 361 00:13:07,509 --> 00:13:05,360 thrown in the trash we get rid of those 362 00:13:09,509 --> 00:13:07,519 but if you think about it there's a lot 363 00:13:11,030 --> 00:13:09,519 of water in that brain that we could get 364 00:13:13,990 --> 00:13:11,040 and so one of the active areas of 365 00:13:16,230 --> 00:13:14,000 research in my group is called brine 366 00:13:18,230 --> 00:13:16,240 water recovery which is looking at 367 00:13:19,110 --> 00:13:18,240 different ways to extract water from the 368 00:13:20,949 --> 00:13:19,120 brine 369 00:13:23,670 --> 00:13:20,959 and the reason that 370 00:13:26,470 --> 00:13:23,680 is a unique challenge 371 00:13:29,670 --> 00:13:26,480 is because once you go past you know 372 00:13:32,069 --> 00:13:29,680 80 85 percent water recovery you start 373 00:13:34,069 --> 00:13:32,079 precipitating solids out 374 00:13:35,910 --> 00:13:34,079 even with some of these new technologies 375 00:13:37,829 --> 00:13:35,920 like i just mentioned you still are 376 00:13:39,910 --> 00:13:37,839 going to precipitate at some point and 377 00:13:41,990 --> 00:13:39,920 so with this brine water recovery 378 00:13:43,829 --> 00:13:42,000 technology uh we have to specifically 379 00:13:46,389 --> 00:13:43,839 design it to be tolerant to solids 380 00:13:49,110 --> 00:13:46,399 formation and so we're hoping that we 381 00:13:51,269 --> 00:13:49,120 can extract the remaining water from 382 00:13:53,829 --> 00:13:51,279 that to continue to close the water loop 383 00:13:55,509 --> 00:13:53,839 and hopefully get to you know in the 90s 384 00:13:56,790 --> 00:13:55,519 or even higher 385 00:13:58,550 --> 00:13:56,800 you know full 386 00:14:02,470 --> 00:13:58,560 loop closure 387 00:14:04,230 --> 00:14:02,480 for future spacecraft beyond iss 388 00:14:08,550 --> 00:14:04,240 okay thank you 389 00:14:11,110 --> 00:14:10,150 hi my name is katie from the haas 390 00:14:13,030 --> 00:14:11,120 program 391 00:14:15,509 --> 00:14:13,040 and we were wondering what's done with 392 00:14:18,470 --> 00:14:15,519 the waste that cannot be recycled and 393 00:14:21,829 --> 00:14:18,480 how is it transported back to earth 394 00:14:24,150 --> 00:14:21,839 so um a lot of the brine that actually 395 00:14:26,550 --> 00:14:24,160 gets generated like i said before gets 396 00:14:27,829 --> 00:14:26,560 thrown in the trash and so 397 00:14:29,269 --> 00:14:27,839 a lot of that gets burned up in the 398 00:14:31,829 --> 00:14:29,279 atmosphere 399 00:14:34,310 --> 00:14:31,839 we do bring back samples of that brine 400 00:14:36,949 --> 00:14:34,320 to actually analyze to see what is left 401 00:14:38,550 --> 00:14:36,959 over after we've removed water 402 00:14:41,189 --> 00:14:38,560 from the urine 403 00:14:42,629 --> 00:14:41,199 and so one thing we've done as engineers 404 00:14:45,670 --> 00:14:42,639 is look at some of the chemical data of 405 00:14:48,389 --> 00:14:45,680 that brine and use that to design our 406 00:14:51,430 --> 00:14:48,399 hardware so astronaut urine is a lot 407 00:14:52,790 --> 00:14:51,440 more concentrated in general than 408 00:14:53,670 --> 00:14:52,800 the urine that we have here on the 409 00:14:55,590 --> 00:14:53,680 ground 410 00:14:57,509 --> 00:14:55,600 and so we'll actually collect urine for 411 00:14:59,670 --> 00:14:57,519 our testing and we'll add chemicals to 412 00:15:01,829 --> 00:14:59,680 it to make it mimic 413 00:15:03,670 --> 00:15:01,839 the concentrations that you would see on 414 00:15:05,350 --> 00:15:03,680 orbit and so 415 00:15:07,350 --> 00:15:05,360 those brine samples really help us with 416 00:15:09,670 --> 00:15:07,360 that and they also help us especially 417 00:15:11,430 --> 00:15:09,680 with testing that brine water recovery 418 00:15:12,870 --> 00:15:11,440 hardware i talked about 419 00:15:14,629 --> 00:15:12,880 so hopefully we'll get to the point 420 00:15:16,470 --> 00:15:14,639 where 421 00:15:18,470 --> 00:15:16,480 we can actually recycle the water from 422 00:15:21,750 --> 00:15:18,480 the brine as well but right now we throw 423 00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:26,069 thank you 424 00:15:29,430 --> 00:15:27,750 hi my name is brandy poycher from the 425 00:15:31,030 --> 00:15:29,440 psti program 426 00:15:35,269 --> 00:15:31,040 and i want to know are there any major 427 00:15:40,629 --> 00:15:37,829 there are some differences 428 00:15:42,069 --> 00:15:40,639 like i mentioned before the urine that's 429 00:15:43,749 --> 00:15:42,079 in space we've noticed is more 430 00:15:44,949 --> 00:15:43,759 concentrated than what we have here on 431 00:15:46,470 --> 00:15:44,959 the ground 432 00:15:48,069 --> 00:15:46,480 and the reason for that is when you go 433 00:15:49,910 --> 00:15:48,079 into space 434 00:15:52,150 --> 00:15:49,920 the fluids in your body get 435 00:15:53,749 --> 00:15:52,160 redistributed because here on earth the 436 00:15:55,829 --> 00:15:53,759 fluids are kind of drawn toward your 437 00:15:57,829 --> 00:15:55,839 feet because of gravity in space we 438 00:16:00,150 --> 00:15:57,839 don't have that and so the fluids kind 439 00:16:01,749 --> 00:16:00,160 of go up into your head and so when 440 00:16:03,110 --> 00:16:01,759 astronauts first get on orbit you can 441 00:16:04,470 --> 00:16:03,120 actually see that their faces are very 442 00:16:06,150 --> 00:16:04,480 puffy 443 00:16:08,389 --> 00:16:06,160 and so what happens in that case is 444 00:16:10,710 --> 00:16:08,399 their brain interprets that as no i have 445 00:16:13,030 --> 00:16:10,720 way too much fluid altogether i need to 446 00:16:15,030 --> 00:16:13,040 get rid of it so 447 00:16:16,230 --> 00:16:15,040 that causes the astronauts to urinate a 448 00:16:17,990 --> 00:16:16,240 lot more 449 00:16:21,350 --> 00:16:18,000 well that can actually cause the 450 00:16:22,710 --> 00:16:21,360 astronauts to get dehydrated and so 451 00:16:24,310 --> 00:16:22,720 you know they're very careful in terms 452 00:16:25,430 --> 00:16:24,320 of how much water they drink but we 453 00:16:27,670 --> 00:16:25,440 still see 454 00:16:29,430 --> 00:16:27,680 higher concentrations across the board 455 00:16:30,389 --> 00:16:29,440 of you know calcium like i mentioned 456 00:16:32,949 --> 00:16:30,399 before 457 00:16:34,949 --> 00:16:32,959 um all the different 458 00:16:37,269 --> 00:16:34,959 minerals and all the compounds you find 459 00:16:39,110 --> 00:16:37,279 in urine are higher concentrations and 460 00:16:40,870 --> 00:16:39,120 so when we test hardware here on the 461 00:16:42,389 --> 00:16:40,880 ground we have to take that into account 462 00:16:44,310 --> 00:16:42,399 to make sure that you know for things 463 00:16:46,790 --> 00:16:44,320 like calcium for instance we have the 464 00:16:49,350 --> 00:16:46,800 right amount to appropriately challenge 465 00:16:51,030 --> 00:16:49,360 our hardware 466 00:16:52,790 --> 00:16:51,040 thank you 467 00:16:56,949 --> 00:16:52,800 i think we have time for a few more 468 00:17:00,389 --> 00:16:58,790 uh hello my name is eric williams and 469 00:17:02,150 --> 00:17:00,399 i'm here with the haas program 470 00:17:03,910 --> 00:17:02,160 and my question was what are some of the 471 00:17:05,590 --> 00:17:03,920 challenges you've encountered in working 472 00:17:07,350 --> 00:17:05,600 with other nations 473 00:17:09,429 --> 00:17:07,360 for systems and stuff like this on the 474 00:17:10,710 --> 00:17:09,439 iss 475 00:17:12,789 --> 00:17:10,720 that's actually that's a really good 476 00:17:16,230 --> 00:17:12,799 question too 477 00:17:18,789 --> 00:17:16,240 our team personally doesn't work 478 00:17:20,549 --> 00:17:18,799 with international partners as much but 479 00:17:22,309 --> 00:17:20,559 we do work with the space station 480 00:17:24,309 --> 00:17:22,319 program a lot and the program kind of 481 00:17:26,870 --> 00:17:24,319 coordinates between all the different 482 00:17:29,190 --> 00:17:26,880 international partners and so 483 00:17:30,950 --> 00:17:29,200 the project that i mentioned with the 484 00:17:33,350 --> 00:17:30,960 precipitation issue in the water 485 00:17:34,870 --> 00:17:33,360 recycling system on iss 486 00:17:38,150 --> 00:17:34,880 is something that has to be worked 487 00:17:40,150 --> 00:17:38,160 between the us and russia 488 00:17:42,310 --> 00:17:40,160 and if we do end up replacing that 489 00:17:43,830 --> 00:17:42,320 sulfuric acid pre-treatment with 490 00:17:45,510 --> 00:17:43,840 something else 491 00:17:47,430 --> 00:17:45,520 we have to work that with the russians 492 00:17:48,950 --> 00:17:47,440 to make sure that when it gets installed 493 00:17:51,270 --> 00:17:48,960 in their system 494 00:17:52,070 --> 00:17:51,280 that their hardware is compatible with 495 00:17:55,830 --> 00:17:52,080 that 496 00:17:58,150 --> 00:17:55,840 appropriately sized and so on and so we 497 00:18:01,029 --> 00:17:58,160 have to work very closely with them and 498 00:18:02,870 --> 00:18:01,039 we have individuals on our team who have 499 00:18:04,390 --> 00:18:02,880 traveled to russia several times and we 500 00:18:06,710 --> 00:18:04,400 have a lot of telecons and a lot of 501 00:18:07,510 --> 00:18:06,720 meetings to talk to them to make sure 502 00:18:11,029 --> 00:18:07,520 that 503 00:18:13,430 --> 00:18:11,039 fly this to iss 504 00:18:15,029 --> 00:18:13,440 we don't have any issues so it can be a 505 00:18:16,630 --> 00:18:15,039 challenge but 506 00:18:18,150 --> 00:18:16,640 you know we all want to recycle more 507 00:18:21,430 --> 00:18:18,160 water on the space station so we're all 508 00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:25,510 thank you 509 00:18:29,590 --> 00:18:27,110 hi my name is thomas mckenna i'm here 510 00:18:32,630 --> 00:18:29,600 with psti and my question is does 511 00:18:36,630 --> 00:18:32,640 microgravity have an impact on ph levels 512 00:18:41,669 --> 00:18:39,430 the ph levels specifically we don't see 513 00:18:43,669 --> 00:18:41,679 a major difference between 514 00:18:44,789 --> 00:18:43,679 what's on orbit and what we see on the 515 00:18:46,710 --> 00:18:44,799 ground 516 00:18:48,870 --> 00:18:46,720 there's a pretty wide range it really 517 00:18:51,510 --> 00:18:48,880 depends on your diet depends on how much 518 00:18:53,510 --> 00:18:51,520 water you drink that kind of thing 519 00:18:55,270 --> 00:18:53,520 and so we have some people with 520 00:18:57,669 --> 00:18:55,280 fairly acidic urine 521 00:19:00,070 --> 00:18:57,679 like ph in the fives and then some 522 00:19:01,830 --> 00:19:00,080 people with higher ph you know into the 523 00:19:04,950 --> 00:19:01,840 mid 6 524 00:19:07,510 --> 00:19:04,960 you know 6.5 or so ph and so really what 525 00:19:09,350 --> 00:19:07,520 we've seen on orbit are ph's that fall 526 00:19:17,270 --> 00:19:09,360 into that range so it's nothing outside 527 00:19:21,270 --> 00:19:18,950 hi my name is chelsea weber and i'm here 528 00:19:22,950 --> 00:19:21,280 with the psti program and i have more of 529 00:19:24,789 --> 00:19:22,960 a general question 530 00:19:29,190 --> 00:19:24,799 is going to the restroom in space a 531 00:19:35,110 --> 00:19:32,310 um that's a really good question too 532 00:19:38,230 --> 00:19:35,120 i've personally never used the iss 533 00:19:39,830 --> 00:19:38,240 toilet so i can't speak firsthand 534 00:19:42,390 --> 00:19:39,840 but i have seen 535 00:19:44,470 --> 00:19:42,400 footage and i've heard from crew members 536 00:19:45,430 --> 00:19:44,480 that it can be a challenge 537 00:19:54,470 --> 00:19:45,440 the 538 00:19:56,950 --> 00:19:54,480 one um it's a it's you know maybe this 539 00:19:59,270 --> 00:19:56,960 about this big diameter um and so you 540 00:20:01,510 --> 00:19:59,280 have to have good aim 541 00:20:04,230 --> 00:20:01,520 uh there's a fan in there to to kind of 542 00:20:06,230 --> 00:20:04,240 help suction it in but um you know i've 543 00:20:08,630 --> 00:20:06,240 heard that it can be messy and so right 544 00:20:12,470 --> 00:20:08,640 next to the toilet they have actually a 545 00:20:14,630 --> 00:20:12,480 series of you know baby wipes um gloves 546 00:20:18,070 --> 00:20:14,640 that you can put on in case you 547 00:20:22,230 --> 00:20:19,510 lots of you know several different kinds 548 00:20:24,070 --> 00:20:22,240 of toilet paper that kind of thing um 549 00:20:25,909 --> 00:20:24,080 and so it can be a challenge but i've 550 00:20:27,029 --> 00:20:25,919 heard that once you get to once you get 551 00:20:29,830 --> 00:20:27,039 used to it and once you get the 552 00:20:31,830 --> 00:20:29,840 technique down it's not too bad 553 00:20:34,149 --> 00:20:31,840 okay thank you people want to know about 554 00:20:37,350 --> 00:20:34,159 the lmnop 555 00:20:40,149 --> 00:20:37,360 good question do we have another one 556 00:20:41,909 --> 00:20:40,159 uh yes i'm katie schneider with haas and 557 00:20:43,350 --> 00:20:41,919 i'd like to know how much education and 558 00:20:45,270 --> 00:20:43,360 training did you go through to get your 559 00:20:47,830 --> 00:20:45,280 position 560 00:20:49,590 --> 00:20:47,840 um so i actually 561 00:20:51,510 --> 00:20:49,600 i have two degrees i have one in 562 00:20:54,230 --> 00:20:51,520 aerospace engineering and another degree 563 00:20:55,990 --> 00:20:54,240 in geology 564 00:20:58,789 --> 00:20:56,000 those aren't directly applicable to what 565 00:21:00,310 --> 00:20:58,799 i do but it's really the problem solving 566 00:21:02,470 --> 00:21:00,320 mindset 567 00:21:04,789 --> 00:21:02,480 and the background knowledge in 568 00:21:06,789 --> 00:21:04,799 engineering principles in chemistry and 569 00:21:09,669 --> 00:21:06,799 physics that have really helped me with 570 00:21:11,830 --> 00:21:09,679 my job so if you look at the entire 571 00:21:13,990 --> 00:21:11,840 water recovery systems team 572 00:21:15,669 --> 00:21:14,000 we have civil engineers we have 573 00:21:16,870 --> 00:21:15,679 mechanical engineers electrical 574 00:21:18,950 --> 00:21:16,880 engineers 575 00:21:20,669 --> 00:21:18,960 we also have several chemists 576 00:21:23,750 --> 00:21:20,679 that work in the lab with us we have a 577 00:21:26,310 --> 00:21:23,760 microbiologist who helps us for instance 578 00:21:28,470 --> 00:21:26,320 where when we're evaluating 579 00:21:29,750 --> 00:21:28,480 whether pre-treatment is working or not 580 00:21:31,830 --> 00:21:29,760 they're able to actually plate those 581 00:21:34,149 --> 00:21:31,840 samples out on petri dishes and see 582 00:21:35,350 --> 00:21:34,159 what's growing and how much 583 00:21:36,789 --> 00:21:35,360 and so 584 00:21:39,909 --> 00:21:36,799 you know pretty much any kind of 585 00:21:43,029 --> 00:21:39,919 engineering or science discipline 586 00:21:44,630 --> 00:21:43,039 would get someone to this position 587 00:21:46,390 --> 00:21:44,640 to be able to do this kind of work but 588 00:21:49,510 --> 00:21:46,400 for me personally i did aerospace 589 00:21:53,270 --> 00:21:49,520 engineering and geology 590 00:21:56,230 --> 00:21:55,430 hi my name is katrina catron similar to 591 00:21:57,750 --> 00:21:56,240 that 592 00:21:59,350 --> 00:21:57,760 how did you get into this profession 593 00:22:00,470 --> 00:21:59,360 because i know maybe at like five years 594 00:22:02,870 --> 00:22:00,480 old you didn't know you're going to be a 595 00:22:04,789 --> 00:22:02,880 urine specialist so how did you how was 596 00:22:06,950 --> 00:22:04,799 the process of that 597 00:22:11,029 --> 00:22:06,960 um 598 00:22:13,110 --> 00:22:11,039 been interested in space since i was a 599 00:22:14,710 --> 00:22:13,120 kid space travel has always been 600 00:22:16,950 --> 00:22:14,720 fascinating to me 601 00:22:20,310 --> 00:22:16,960 as i got older though 602 00:22:23,430 --> 00:22:20,320 it became more of a question of survival 603 00:22:26,870 --> 00:22:23,440 and what can we do to make sure our 604 00:22:28,630 --> 00:22:26,880 species is around long term and so 605 00:22:31,830 --> 00:22:28,640 uh going through school i started 606 00:22:34,549 --> 00:22:31,840 thinking about human space flight and 607 00:22:36,870 --> 00:22:34,559 the fact that we have to set up habitats 608 00:22:38,549 --> 00:22:36,880 on the moon and on mars and 609 00:22:40,630 --> 00:22:38,559 like we have on the space station right 610 00:22:43,350 --> 00:22:40,640 now we need 611 00:22:45,750 --> 00:22:43,360 permanent habitats in space if we're 612 00:22:47,110 --> 00:22:45,760 going to continue as a species 613 00:22:49,909 --> 00:22:47,120 and so 614 00:22:51,590 --> 00:22:49,919 that actually drove me towards 615 00:22:53,510 --> 00:22:51,600 spacecraft engineering so i did 616 00:22:56,470 --> 00:22:53,520 aerospace engineering 617 00:22:59,669 --> 00:22:56,480 initially and i added geology after that 618 00:23:02,070 --> 00:22:59,679 i found out about a program called the 619 00:23:03,270 --> 00:23:02,080 cooperative education program 620 00:23:05,510 --> 00:23:03,280 at least that's what it was called at 621 00:23:07,029 --> 00:23:05,520 the time 622 00:23:08,789 --> 00:23:07,039 and that actually allows students who 623 00:23:10,789 --> 00:23:08,799 are in college to come and work 624 00:23:13,350 --> 00:23:10,799 full-time 625 00:23:16,549 --> 00:23:13,360 at a nasa center and so i had the 626 00:23:19,190 --> 00:23:16,559 opportunity to come to jsc 627 00:23:21,990 --> 00:23:19,200 and i learned about a group called the 628 00:23:23,750 --> 00:23:22,000 crew and thermal systems division and 629 00:23:26,710 --> 00:23:23,760 this is a group within engineering that 630 00:23:28,390 --> 00:23:26,720 just focuses on they have thermal you 631 00:23:29,350 --> 00:23:28,400 know thermal control as well which is 632 00:23:31,190 --> 00:23:29,360 cool 633 00:23:33,110 --> 00:23:31,200 but i really like the crew side and how 634 00:23:35,190 --> 00:23:33,120 do we keep people alive in space because 635 00:23:37,110 --> 00:23:35,200 to me that comes back to that survival 636 00:23:39,029 --> 00:23:37,120 question of you know 637 00:23:40,710 --> 00:23:39,039 how do we continue the species and how 638 00:23:43,830 --> 00:23:40,720 do we keep ourselves around for a long 639 00:23:46,310 --> 00:23:43,840 time and so within that crew aspect 640 00:23:48,549 --> 00:23:46,320 there are a number of different groups 641 00:23:50,870 --> 00:23:48,559 people that work on atmosphere 642 00:23:53,430 --> 00:23:50,880 revitalization so recycling the air on 643 00:23:55,510 --> 00:23:53,440 the spacecraft people who work on 644 00:23:57,190 --> 00:23:55,520 habitability so the people who actually 645 00:23:59,190 --> 00:23:57,200 designed the toilet 646 00:24:01,110 --> 00:23:59,200 they designed the galley and so on on 647 00:24:03,430 --> 00:24:01,120 the space station 648 00:24:05,909 --> 00:24:03,440 and then also the water recycling team 649 00:24:07,830 --> 00:24:05,919 and so i was able to kind of work my way 650 00:24:09,990 --> 00:24:07,840 in there and they had an opening on the 651 00:24:12,549 --> 00:24:10,000 water team and so i was able to come on 652 00:24:14,470 --> 00:24:12,559 board and start with them so 653 00:24:16,549 --> 00:24:14,480 that working 654 00:24:18,310 --> 00:24:16,559 full-time at jsc as a student really 655 00:24:20,390 --> 00:24:18,320 helped me to kind of pinpoint what area 656 00:24:22,549 --> 00:24:20,400 i wanted to go in 657 00:24:24,870 --> 00:24:22,559 excellent excellent question and 658 00:24:26,630 --> 00:24:24,880 excellent answer thank you very much for 659 00:24:28,390 --> 00:24:26,640 coming out and talk i think that's all 660 00:24:30,230 --> 00:24:28,400 the time that we have 661 00:24:31,909 --> 00:24:30,240 um guys 662
