Washington, Ta. 3. Saturday, October 2020

The US space agency NASA has sent a special type of toilet for astronauts living in the International Space Station. Its value is about 174 crore rupees.

Taking this toilet, NASA's rocket has been named after Indian-origin astronaut Kalpana Chawla. This toilet also includes the luggage that this rocket is going to carry. NASA has specially designed the toilet. It is designed especially for female astronauts. So that they do not have to stay in the space station for a long time.

So far female astronauts have not been able to stay in the space station for long due to lack of toilets. The toilets currently in the space station are designed with men in mind. However, now that the number of female astronauts has increased, there is also a need for toilets for them.

According to NASA scientists, it took 6 years to build this toilet. This toilet is equipped with special facilities for women. Toilet waste can also be recycled.
