How do astronauts wash their clothes and shower in the ISS where the water supply is very limited?
In: Engineering
All that water is collected, condensed, purified, and reused, even breath, sweat, and urine. The Russian side of the ISS doesn’t like to reuse their urine, so the US side will go over and collect it and purify it out into potable water every once in a while if water supplies start to run short.
The water supply isn’t “limited” in this sense because every drop is recycled multiple times.
