Space toilets often had problems collecting liquid and solid waste, causing inconvenience to astronauts. This new space toilet was launched after they had conducted 200 tests and experiments during its three-year long research and development period.

This new design will be much easier to use for astronauts. Just by pressing one button, wastes can be collected completely sealed to overcome leaking problems, which often occurred with the older space toilets.

Jin hopes that scientists can test the new toilet in space to perfect its functions in the future. And this silver bottle – which costs just 1,000 GBP – is simply inserted into the astronauts’ bottoms and is then good for a whole mission.
