Astronauts should learn to go to the toilet before going to heaven. The first step is to fix yourself first. Fix the shoes first, then fix the lower body, and hold the handrails on both sides of the toilet with both hands. The most important thing is that the buttocks should be close to the edge of the toilet, so that the inside and outside of the toilet are completely sealed. The so-called "flush toilet" is actually a "flush toilet"-because the toilet uses gas instead of water. Urine is collected by a special funnel, and urinals are regularly discharged into space. The excrement in the excrement bag is compressed, temporarily stored in the toilet and finally brought back to the ground.
Russian RSC Energia Company was commissioned by NASA to build a brand-new space toilet, which increased the number of astronauts who can use the toilet on the space station from 3 to 6. This space toilet will also recombine excreta into drinking water, and the cost is $6,543,800+0.9 million, which is very scary. The appearance of this space toilet is almost the same as that of ordinary toilets, but the astronauts' feet have to step on the steel plate and be fixed in the sleeve, and there are two fixed stools to lock the astronauts' thighs before the astronauts can poop.
Extended data:
1, a toilet tailored for astronauts
Shi Weidong, general manager of Nanjing Shelley Environmental Protection Technology Co., Ltd. said that the toilets in the space capsule will be smaller and tailored to the astronauts' bodies. It will be a scientific breakthrough to add an automatic urinal in the engine room on the basis of the toilet. The details remain confidential. However, Teacher Shi revealed that the toilet of Shenzhou VII space capsule can be retractable, opened when in use, and folded when not in use to save space.
2. Urine can be turned into water to drink.
The separation of urine and feces was realized in the toilet of the space capsule. Water resources in space are very precious, and astronauts' urine cannot be wasted. After several hours of biological bacteria treatment, there is no difference between urine and drinking water, and you can continue to drink. As for excrement, it will be dried and crushed in vacuum and finally scattered into space.
