Orbital Systems

Swedish startup Orbital Systems originally collaborated with NASA to develop the technology for their shower system, called OAS, which the company claims reduces water waste from showers by 90%. With a built-in purification system, OAS reuses the same batch of water, using only two gallons per shower – versus 20 gallons used in a typical shower. The company plans to take this technology developed for space and put it in people’s homes, which will not only save water, but save families a lot of money, the company says.
