	abstract = {In the absence of recycling, water represents over 90\% of the life-support consumables for a manned spacecraft. In addition, over 90\% of the waste water generated can be classified as moderately or slightly contaminated (e.g. shower water, condensate from the air-conditioning system, etc.). The ability to recover potable water from moderately contaminated waste water hence enables significant savings to be made in resupply costs. A development model of such a water-recovery system, based on membrane technology has been produced and tested using "real waste water" based on used shower water Results indicate some 95\% recovery of potable water meeting ESA standards, with total elimination of microbial contaminants such as bacteria, spores and viruses.},
