Some form of water recycling or regeneration will be required aboard spacecraft on planetary exploration missions. Various methods of recapturing water from moisture-containing products of human vital activity (feces, urine, sweat) and recycling water used for sanitary and hygienic purposes are examined. The use of ion-exchange resins and absorbent materials, as well as semipermeable membranes is discussed. The problems involved in decontaminating and deodorizing recycled water are examined in detail. (Author)
