Adenot was exploring ways to use the International Space Station’s potable water to produce medical-grade intravenous fluids, or saline solutions, to treat medical conditions in space. IVGen Mini seeks to reduce a crew’s dependence on cargo missions and avoid expiration of medical supplies on a spacecraft.
