A waste compaction apparatus (100) may include a housing (110) and a connector arm (120). The housing (110) may define a drive chamber (112) and a compaction chamber (114) and the connector arm (120) may include a drive piston portion (122) movably positioned within the drive chamber and a compaction piston portion (124) movably positioned within the compaction chamber. The drive chamber (112) may be selectively fluidly coupleable to the near-vacuum of outer space, such that the compaction piston portion (124) of the connector arm is configured to move within the compaction chamber (114) to compact waste material contained within the compaction chamber (114) in response to movement of the drive piston portion (122) of the connector arm within the drive chamber (112).
