Filtration on the ISS

Astronauts on the International Space Station recycle water, including urine, to ensure a sustainable supply. The process involves evaporating urine, capturing water vapor, and purifying it through filtration. Large particles are removed first, followed by finer filtration to eliminate bacteria. The water is then heated to kill any remaining microorganisms, resulting in purified water that is cleaner than Earth's drinking water.
