The Collapsable Contingency Urinal (CCU), used on Artemis 2 after a toilet malfunction. Essentially an open container (reusable, sealable, and drainable) that controls the urine-air interface using capillary forces. When you are in cislunar space with a broken toilet, you need contingencies and the CCU replaces the need for about 25 pounds of diapers.

just imagine drinking so much Gatorade Zero in zero g that you have to use the zero g urinal until your bladder has zero, g.

If this is supposed to be the Female CCU, why does it say PP on it 🤔
This is really cool though. Does anyone know what the CO2 nozzle is for?

Need one for under the car seat

Beware! The tubes for superglue look similar.

I’ll be interested to hear the engineering reason behind the space clog! And how it will be remedied for Artemis III & IV!

That tube makes for some really interesting and painful space docking.

Looks like a giant glue tube. Or I may have a set of mice urinals in my drawer.

If we can get to a point where we are sending dozens of people into space at a time, it might be more economical to just send Bear Grylls with them.

Every day we get closer to being able to use the three seashells.
It would’ve been funny if they made it from polypropylene instead of polyphenylene ether

I know it’s NASA, and it’s basically full of engineers and scientists, but why does this thing have a user manual with more pages than an average passenger car?

Are they full? How much?? Take Venmo?

Been around the moon?!? How long until we can get these as souvenirs on EBay?

How full of piss can one be before starting a new one?

Space Truck’n but instead of throwin’ your piss bottles at drivers who piss you off, you’re sling’n these bad boys out of your ship, and they are obliterating alien vessels

They could probably sell these to fund the next trip.
How many of them got used if you can share in 10 days?
At first glance at the pic, it looked like some futuristic fleshlight…
That one is female in some mysterious way. It says so.
Hot dam they must be hydrated
Cant not stare at those nails
For the first second after seeing the picture i thought:
That’s a lot of thermal paste. Then i continued to read the title.
So uhhhh… if you can’t look at that and figure out how to use it, does that mean you’re not smart enough to go to space?
I like the spacey hexagon pattern. Because hexagons are bestagons. It doesn’t look like a real hexagonal material structure?
You’re taking the piss i see.
How much engineering difference between the Female CCU and the Male CCU?
Piss jugs on the Artemis, what a world
Surely they knew what they were doing , when they called it PPE.
These stalls dont somehow seal off the…bowl from the rest of the pod and eject everything into space?
Thats wht I always thought happened
Does the “female” urinal mean it takes the male member, or how does this work?
What does Female CCU stands for?
That’s just taking the piss
…..so which end do I use?
How does it work and how is it used
How has no one mentioned those wild ass finger nails
But when I pee in a bottle and put it on my boss’s desk, I get escorted out of the building.
Double standards are real, people
I found a link about this lil guy. I appreciate that they show the female interface. Basically a space SheWee, which makes sense. Very interesting!

They spelled PEE wrong! C’Mon NASA!
