ISS Gets New Recycling Gear, Ready For Larger Crew

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the yay-for-august dept.

TnGoastiiaiu submitted a space.com story that expands on coverage we've had earlier about improvements being made to the ISS to increase crew capacity. He writes "ISS gets new recycling gear that transforms human waste to drinking water. Some of the water will be used to get Oxygene, too. This way it will soon be possible to host more crew members. " Also, someone needs to smack the webmaster over there for putting a background texture behind the text. It's pretty unreadable along the left hand side of the screen.

    So what's this `Oxygene' stuff? Is it in any way related to oxygen?
