Application Story: UEI, NASA Water Storage System (WSS) & MIL-STD 1553

The International Space Station (ISS) has a complex water system designed to store and create clean water for its residents, capable of storing as much as 530 gallons of water at any given time. NASA’s ISS upgraded to a new Water Storage System (WSS) and is equipped with state-of-the-art technology. WSS improves the resupply/waste water management and iodinated water storage capabilities of the ISS. When designing the new WSS, NASA needed a way to manage communications, control and monitoring systems within the WSS for simplified management. Securing the right data acquisition and control hardware for this task was critical to maximizing the potential of the new WSS.
