There are some things it ’s loose to get in place — a glimpse of the gang nebula , for instance — and some thing that are much severe … like a cup of coffee berry . This new coffee - auto , set to make the misstep to the ISS , is going to make it much gentle .
Coffee - maker Lavazza and Argotec design the protoype machine , which sport steel piping capable of withstanding 400 bar of pressing and weighs just under 45 pounds . The Italian Space Agency has announced plans to take it with them up to the ISS .
Making java in outer space is interesting as a technical challenge , but it ’s also interesting as part of another trend : arrive at space more comfortable . Whether it ’s suits that are little less bulky , the chance to get some homegrown veggie high up above the Earth ’s atmospheric state , or just a nicely - brew cupful of coffee , more inquiry is focused on the idea of cause space not only survivable , but liveable . And these seem like authoritative step towards not just long journeys in space , but also to open up space travel to a much larger portion of the population .
