NASA plans to put washing machine in space

One problem with astronauts is that they have to work on international space stations for months, but clothes only carry a few sets and there is no way to wash them. However, this problem now has an answer.

According to Gizmodo , NASA is working to create a prototype of a low-power washing machine, using an extremely small amount of water to clean clothes. In particular, this washing machine system can work in easy gravity environment.

This will also help NASA save a lot of cost of transporting clothes to space stations. Earlier, reports said, NASA had to spend about $ 5,000 - 10,000 for every 500g of clothing to transport to space stations.

The washing machine system provided by NASA is developed based on the powerful water treatment technology held by Umpqua. This treatment technology will also help astronauts' clothes become softer.
