UGAs

Published under Uncategorized.

Keeping with NASA’s longstanding tradtion of naming simple things with
complex acronyms, astronauts will now be known as UGAs… urine
generation assemblies.

Just an official little tidbit to come from the fact that the plan is to
start processessing urine into water and then into oxygen in the
eventual future. I thought it was interesting that they’re trying to
close up the atmosphere loop, and their plan is pretty similar to what
we came up with a couple of years ago in my life support system design
class. I’ll spare you the details, though…
