More photos from "space pee" story







Above and below are more photos from the Jacobs School undergraduate students on the Microgravity Team who are studying fluid dynamics in near zero gravity in order to make more sanitary and comfortable space toilets (urine collection devices if you want to be specific).

The Microgravity Project is part of http://aiaa.ucsd.edu/, which is UC San Diego’s student chapter of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics. The following Jacobs School of Engineering undergraduates participated in the 2009 Microgravity Project at UC San Diego: Timothy Havard, Christie Carlile, Geoffrey Meier, Samina Bhatia, Derek Peterson, Jacqueline Yu, Arvin La Rosa, Colin Sheredy, Jeremy Burke and Brandon Maryatt.
