• US Patent - US 11,072,442 Patent number: US 11,072,442 Awarded: Jul. 27, 2021 Patent Title: Space flight habitation support appliance Filing date: 23 Aug 2018 Inventors: George Wilson Freas, II; Original Assignee: The Boeing Company This disclosure generally relates to habitation support appliances, and more specifically, to habitation support appliances capable of operation in aerospace operational environments. Washers and dryers typically include separate chambers for washing and heating items. Furthermore, such washers and dryers are not able to function in extreme environments that may be encountered in aerospace environments, which may have stringent weight constraints as well as various physical constraints, such as low or zero-gravity (e.g., the International Space Station (ISS) as well as other space environments). In such contexts, traditional washers and dryers are limited, and soiled items, such as clothes, are destroyed by, for example, incineration when discarded from the ISS.
