- Description
In preparation for his second mission to the International Space Station, ESA astronaut Thomas Pesquet is training to be ready for launch. His second six-month mission is called Alpha and will see Thomas launch as part Crew-2 on the SpaceX Dragon spacecraft with NASA astronaut Megan Behnken and Shane Kimbrough and Japanese astronaut Aki Hoshide.
Thomas is training for the water systems at NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston, USA. He is learning how to use the systems in the Russian Zvezda module and in NASA’s European-built Node-3 module. Much of the food astronauts eat in space is rehydrated with water as well as beverages such as coffee and tea. Up to 80% of the water on the International Space Station is recycled. Astronauts living and working 400 km above our planet might prefer not to think about it, but the water they drink is recycled from their colleague’s sweat and exhaled breath – collected as condensation on the Space Station’s walls.
