NASA developing spacesuits with built-in toilet

Engineers at NASA are working on developing a new spacesuit that includes a long-term waste-disposal system, which is essentially a built in toilet.

A built-in waste disposal system hasn’t been a part of NASA’s spacesuit design since the Apollo era, and the new waste-disposal system will likely have a lot in common with those used in the 1970s.

The new Orion Crew Survival Systems Suits (OCSSS) will be worn by astronauts on NASA’s next- generation human spacecraft, Orion, which will be able to carry humans well beyond low Earth orbit.
