With the coming of the U.S. Space Station, the testing of the water reclamation system in zero-g could become very important to avoid costly redesigns and logistic problems. There are currently no plans to test the hardware in zero-g for long durations. This paper outlines one possible way to test the potable water reclamation system as a spacelab payload and the hygiene water reclamation system as a middeck payload in zero-g, while using existing National Space Transportation System (NSTS) flight hardware.
