摘要: A laundry bag for a spacecraft laundry system, can include a bag body defining an inner volume, a resealable opening defined by or disposed on or in the bag body, the resealable opening configured to allow insertion of one or more articles of laundry into the inner volume of the bag body, and a quick disconnect (QD) flow adapter disposed through the bag body and sealed to the bag body. The QD flow adapter is in fluid communication with the inner volume at a first end and is configured to connect to a mating connector at a second end. The laundry bag can be configured to sealably contain one or more articles of laundry and washing fluid within the inner volume when the resealable opening is sealed and the QD flow adapter is disconnected.

摘要: A laundry system can include a rotational motion chamber configured to be actuated rotationally and an agitation chamber configured to receive one or more washable articles. The agitation chamber can be disposed within the rotational motion chamber. The agitation chamber can be configured to be actuated linearly within the rotational motion chamber independent of the rotational motion chamber in a first state, and can be configured to be engaged to and rotated by the rotational motion chamber in a second state.

摘要: A fluid recovery system for a laundry system (e.g., of a spacecraft) can include a main line having an inlet configured to fluidly communicate with a washing volume within an agitation chamber to receive washing fluid from the agitation chamber, a vacuum source in fluid communication with the main line to provide a partial vacuum to the inlet to cause washing fluid in the washing volume to at least partially evaporate, and a condenser disposed on the main line downstream of inlet. The condenser can be configured to receive evaporated washing fluid and to condense water in the evaporated washing fluid. The system can include a separator downstream of the condenser configured to separate water and laundry effluent gas, wherein the separator includes a water recovery output configured to output water for reuse.

摘要: A laundry system can include an input shaft, an output actuator, and a motion converter connected between the input shaft and the output actuator. The motion converter can be configured to convert rotational motion of the input shaft to linear motion of the output actuator. The system can include a laundry agitation arrangement connected to the output actuator to be linearly actuated by the output actuator to agitate laundry.

摘要: A multi-waste processing system includes a processing chamber. The processing chamber includes one or more heaters and a piston, and the processing chamber is configured to evaporate liquid waste and compact solid waste input. A condenser is operably connected to the processing chamber. The condenser is configured to condense water from the evaporated liquid waste output from the processing chamber. A gas and water separator is operably connected to the condenser. The gas and water separator is configured to separate water from the evaporated liquid waste output from the processing chamber. A recirculation pathway connects the gas and water separator to the processing chamber to recirculate gas from the gas and water separator to the processing chamber. The piston is actuated to keep the one or more heaters in close proximity to the solid waste and the liquid waste in the processing chamber.
