They use special toilets for hard waste and a urinal cup with a tube for urine (attachments for both men and women). Each system has a vacuum on it to keep stuff from inadvertently floating around the spacecraft.
they throw their waste into space . :D
they do some practicing b4 the real thing and they go to shool about it
As of the community, it is also the same with the excretory system. In the community's waste disposal programs, they eliminate wastes in the community. And in the excretory system, it also removes waste from our body.
Space shuttles and space stations have small waterless shower stalls. There are Velcro straps inside of the shower stall to hold the astronaut inside of the shower. Astronauts wear Velcro-bottomed slippers to attach their feet to a Velcro strip on the bottom of the stall. The astronauts wash their hair and skin using disposable wipes that are specially designed for the space flight. The soap from the wipes does not need to be rinsed off the skin or hair. The wipes are disposed of in a special trash receptacle in the space shuttle or space station. The trash receptacle uses air to pull the waste into an airtight canister. Some space stations do use small amounts of water in the shower stalls. A small amount of water is released through a hose that is controlled by the astronaut, while air from another hose sucks in the water and brings it to an airtight canister where it will be purified and recycled. information from eHow.com http://www.ehow.com/about_5369331_do-carry-out-personal-hygiene.html#ixzz1FwJ37Q2V
Yes, but both are special devices designed for use in microgravity. They use a blender like mechanism to handle solid waste in the toilet and both use wet vacuum cleaner type mechanisms to contain and remove the liquids.

Astronauts usually store their garbage aboard the spacecraft until it can be taken back to Earth for proper disposal. Some waste can be jettisoned into space, but this is regulated to minimize space debris. There are also recycling systems on the International Space Station to minimize waste production.
Astronauts in space typically use specially designed space suits that have a built-in waste management system. For urination, they use a funnel attached to a hose that directs waste into a storage bag. For solid waste, astronauts use a small toilet in the spacecraft, which employs suction to handle the lack of gravity. While adult diapers are available as a backup, they are not the primary method for managing waste during spacewalks.
The space shuttles and ISS have special toilets for astronauts to use the restroom. The astronauts must be strapped to the toilet because of 0 gravity. When they are finished the feces are flushed out into the vacuum of space.
in space there will be no microbial activity hence no need of bath for astronauts and there will be zero gravity in space and also it occupy hell lots of place to store it......... hence waste of money,time.and full nonsence
Yes, astronauts wear special absorbent undergarments, commonly known as Maximum Absorbency Garments (MAGs) or "space diapers," during spacewalks or when they cannot easily access the bathroom. These are designed to handle any waste that the astronauts may expel while in their spacesuits.
Astronauts drink recycled urine because water is a limited resource in space. By recycling urine, astronauts can reclaim and purify water from their waste to ensure they have a sustainable supply of drinking water during their missions.
In microgravity of space, astronauts don't use their leg muscles as much, leading to muscle atrophy. This can result in skinny legs when they return to Earth. Regular exercise and physical therapy help astronauts regain muscle mass and strength.
Astronauts use specially designed diapers, known as Maximum Absorbency Garments (MAGs), while in space. When these diapers are full, astronauts place them in a designated waste containment bag. This bag is then stored in a waste compartment until it can be disposed of properly upon returning to Earth or during resupply missions. The system ensures hygiene and manages waste in the confined environment of a spacecraft.
Space waste can pose a risk to operational spacecraft and satellites due to the potential for collision. It can also contribute to the growing issue of space debris, which can further exacerbate the risks of collisions in orbit. Proper waste management practices are essential to mitigate these risks and preserve the sustainability of outer space activities.
Yes. Astronauts in space use toothpaste that is edible. Because of the absence of gravity in space, being able to swallow toothpaste is much more convenient for astronauts than having to spit it out. For this reason, edible toothpaste is used.
Yes, space ships have toilets that are specially designed to work in zero gravity. These toilets use suction systems to collect waste and are built with straps and footrests to help astronauts position themselves correctly. Waste is collected and stored until it can be disposed of appropriately after returning to Earth.
