The International Space Station (ISS) recycles water. The crew water usage is tracked by Expedition to ensure that there is enough water. The Water Use for Oxygen Generation paper [1] presented at ICES in 2004 is updated as part of this water usage analysis. The analysis will determine how much water each crewmember is consuming for drinking water and hygiene. The analysis will determine how much water has been used for oxygen generation. In addition, the analysis will show how the water usage evolved for each Expedition. The analysis will also compare theses results to the consumable reports and the Russian water expert reports.
