NASA Develops Space IV Fluid Technology for Deep Space Missions

Summary: NASA is developing technology to produce intravenous (IV) fluids in the space environment to support crew health during long-duration deep space missions potentially lasting up to three years. Current IV fluids cannot be stored for extended missions, and this new technology will ensure astronauts on beyond-LEO missions have access to necessary medical care.
