MICROBIAL ISOLATION AND CHARACTERIZATION FROM TWO FLEX LINES FROM THE URINE PROCESSOR ASSEMBLY ONBOARD THE INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION

Microbial isolation and characterization from two flex lines from the urine processor assembly onboard the International Space Station

Urine, humidity condensate, and other sources of non-potable water are processed onboard the International Space Station (ISS) 10 GRAIN PANCAKE by the Water Recovery System (WRS) yielding potable water.While some means of microbial control are in place, including a phosphoric acid/hexavalent chromium urine pretreatment solution, many areas within t
