"The toilet on board the Orion capsule has stopped working, a problem that has plagued the space flight since Artemis II launched on April 1."
"NASA has previously said that in the event the space capsule's toilet stopped working, the astronauts would need to switch to a device called the Collapsible Contingency Urinal (CCU)."
"The CCU is a backup system for urine collection developed specifically for the Artemis moon missions, utilizing capillary action to pull urine away from the astronaut."
The toilet on the Artemis II spacecraft has broken down, leaving astronauts without a working bathroom during their return to Earth. NASA confirmed the issue as the mission reached day six of its ten-day duration. Astronauts will have to use a diaper-like alternative or a backup system called the Collapsible Contingency Urinal (CCU) for urine collection. The CCU is designed specifically for the Artemis missions and utilizes capillary action to manage waste safely.
