OSTRA MODULE / SANITATION

Universal Variable-Gravity Sanitation

Variable-gravity wash, hygiene, and sanitation architecture for station, ship, and surface deployments.
VARIABLE-GHYGIENESANITATIONWASTE CONTROLCREW CABIN
Mission Role

Cabin Cleanliness

Maintains high standards of personal cleanliness in confined environments through variable-gravity compatible wash and sanitation.

🛡

Crew Safety

Reduces microbial load and cross-contamination risk through closed-loop waste control and touch-minimized interfaces.

Deployment Range

Operates effectively from microgravity to 1G, supporting orbital platforms, planetary bases, and mobile surface habitats.

System Architecture
🚿

INTAKE

Adaptive airflow and suction capture ensure reliable performance across all gravity vectors.

CONTAINMENT

Hermetically sealed transfer prevents odor, aerosol, and cross-contamination.

PROCESSING

Thermal and biochemical processing reduces volume and neutralizes pathogens.

💧

RECOVERY

Clean water returns to the loop; stabilized solids are stored for disposal.

Operational Benefits
🔒

Privacy + Restraint

Enclosed modules provide acoustic isolation, visual privacy, and restraint-compatible interfaces.

💧

Water Discipline

High-efficiency recovery minimizes freshwater usage and resupply load.

🔧

Maintenance Access

Front-serviceable components and modular subassemblies enable quick inspection and replacement.
