If you use paint, you somehow have to get rid of the solvent in it when it dries, which might be a problem when painting a whole module
- Lalabadie 4mo agoAir filtration is one of the hardest things do deal with in space. I don't know what solvents would do, but I remember that astronauts' bone density loss in space means there are challenges around managing the significant amount of calcium captured by the air scrubbers in the ISS.
- PaulHoule 4mo agoWouldn't the calcium go out in your urine?
- schiffern 4mo agoYes. It was the urine processor that had problems with excess calcium, not the air scrubber. https://ttu-ir.tdl.org/server/api/core/bitstreams/f8ca865b-1d15-4689-841b-60d57d119016/content https://ttu-ir.tdl.org/server/api/core/bitstreams/f8ca865b-1...
- Lalabadie 4mo agoAppreciate the correction!
- kakacik 4mo agoDo they literally sweat their bones away? I can imagine how it would work on molecular level via sweat / breathing, but I would expect >99% to be simply pissed and shat away.
- Lalabadie 4mo agoEdit: My bad, with calcium it's the liquid filters that deal with it, not the air scrubbers. Quoting an ISS astronaut: Today's coffee is tomorrow's coffee.
