NASA Wants Help Designing a New Space Toilet

NASA Wants Help Designing a New Space Toilet The Lunar Loo Challenge comes ahead of a planned return to the moon by 2024.

Space toilets are already in use at the International Space Station, but they are only designed for microgravity.

NASA's Human Landing System Program needs a next-gen toilet that is smaller, more efficient and that works in both microgravity and lunar gravity.

$35,000 in total prizes will be awarded, as well as a winner's certificate, NASA merch and public recognition from NASA and HeroX.
