💩It's #WorldToiletDay !
Our @esa astronaut @astro_Andreas made a video on how the toilets work on the International @Space_Station 🚽👨🚀
To celebrate, we have some been working on something we can't keep the lid down on anymore: two infographics with fun facts and step-by-step guides on how to go to the toilet on the Space Station!🚾Available in French, German, Italian, Spanish, English and Danish 🇫🇷 🇩🇪 🇮🇹 🇪🇸 🇬🇧 🇩🇰

Today is World Toilet day, which celebrate and highlights the throne that we all sit on every day. And if you have ever wondered how going to the toilet works on the International @Space_Station, I have made a little video explaining the procedure that is needed to go number 1 and 2 on the toilet up here.
Having a functioning toilet in space reminds me that not all are fortunate enough in the world to have access to such a luxury or even clean water. One of the upcoming technology demonstrations I will do is with Aquamembrane-3 from which will test an updated version of the same technology that I tested on my first mission in 2015. By using proteins in the membrane, it creates clean water from waste water and could hopefully find use in areas on Earth where clean water is scarce.

I dag er det Verdens Toilet Dag, der fejrer og fremhæver tronen, som vi alle sidder på til hverdag. Og hvis du nogensinde har undret dig over, hvordan det er at gå på toilettet på Den Internationale Rumstation, så har jeg lavet en lille video, der forklare hvad man skal gøre for at gå på toilettet heroppe, både når det gælder nummer 1 og 2 😉
At have et velfungerende toilet i rummet minder mig om, at ikke alle i verden er så heldige at have adgang til sådan en luksus eller endda rent vand. En af de kommende eksperimenter jeg skal lave, er med Aquamembrane-3. Den vil teste en opdateret version af den samme teknologi, jeg testede på min første mission i 2015. Ved at bruge proteiner i membranen giver det rent vand fra spildevand og kunne forhåbentlig hjælpe i områder på Jorden, hvor der er mangel på rent vand.

I have a couple 🟦 🌌 codes if anyone wants one. I have posted a picture of a seagull on it if that's of interest.

A good reminder that while satellites are critical in measuring environmental change, they too have an impact: Starlink carbon footprint up to 30 times size of land-based internet newscientist.com/article/239…

For decades since Apollo, NASA efforts to return humans into deep space have failed. But this time, with the Artemis Program, is different. Here's why:

Gamers! My PhD student is looking for participants to answer a short series of questionnaires about motivations to play games: bathspa.onlinesurveys.ac.uk/…
This is the data I didn’t know I needed 🤣
Good news everyone! A security researcher found the toilet telemetry in the ISS data feed so now you'l know in real time when an astronaut takes a wizz. Toilet is at 57% right now. iss-mimic.github.io/Mimic/
