NASA has begun testing a mobile wastewater treatment facility designed to support long-term human habitation on the Moon and Mars. The system, developed at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida, has been transferred to the University of North Dakota, where it will be evaluated in a habitat that simulates the conditions of future extraterrestrial missions. The Divergent Deployable Wastewater Treatment Facility is intended to transform wastewater generated by crew members into reusable resources, helping reduce dependence on supplies transported from Earth. At the University of North Dakota, the technology has…
