In the Hall of Space, plans call for $7 million to be raised for its revitalization, which includes new interactive exhibits, a dedicated Cosmo Kids children’s area and classrooms that make the collection more accessible to students. $4.5 million will enable the work to begin in the fall of 2018.

    47th International Conference on Environmental Systems ICES-2017-337 16-20 July 2017, Charleston, South Carolina ISS Potable Water Sampling and Chemical Analysis Results for 2016 John E.

Gazda5 NASA Johnson Space Center, Houston, Texas, 77058 This paper continues the annual tradition, at this conference, of summarizing the results of chemical analyses performed on archival potable water samples returned from the International Space Station (ISS). 2016 represented a banner year for life aboard the ISS, including the successful conclusion for 2 crewmembers of a record 1-year mission. Water reclaimed from urine and/or humidity condensate remained the primary source of potable water for the crewmembers of ISS Expeditions 46-50. The year was also marked by the end of a long-standing tradition of U.S. sampling and monitoring of Russian Segment potable water sources. Two water samples, taken during Expedition 46 and returned on Soyuz 44 in March 2016, represented the final Russian Segment samples to be collected and analyzed by the U.S. side. Although anticipated for 2016, a rise in the total organic carbon (TOC) concentration of the product water from the U.S. water processor assembly due to breakthrough of organic contaminants from the system did not materialize, as evidenced
