Color Sensors on Space Station

Caption

After space shuttle Discovery launched on Aug. 28, it delivered to the International Space Station a water quality monitoring kit developed by University of Utah chemists. Part of the kit, which is the size of a small ice chest, is shown here, with two commercially available color sensors that will be used during six months of testing to check for levels of the disinfectants iodine and silver in space station drinking water.
