At the present time the problem of supplying the crew of an orbital complex with drinking water is solved by the creation of a stock of conditioned water tinned by silver ions and refilled by payload spaceships and by system of water regeneration from atmosphere humidity condensate. In the latter the processes of heating and regeneration of water is realized by electrical heating of water-containing capacity of volume 750 ml during ∼ 60 minutes up to temperature 90 °C.

Disposed sanitary hygiene wipes, used in spaceflight were subjected to microbial decomposition using thermophylic anaerobes. The results reveal diminution of dry mass to 6-12 % from initial values.
