Astronauts get water in space primarily through two methods:

1. Recycling Systems

• The International Space Station (ISS) has advanced systems that recycle water from various sources, including:
  • Breathable Air: Water vapor from astronauts’ breath is collected and condensed into liquid water.
  • Urine: Wastewater is purified and treated to recover clean water.

2. Stored Water Supplies

• Astronauts also bring pre-packaged water supplies on missions. These are stored in bags and can be consumed directly or mixed with powdered drinks.

These methods ensure that astronauts have a continuous supply of water during their missions.
