A preflight image of the miniaturized sterilization system as part of IVGEN mini. This investigation aims to verify operations to make medical-grade saline solution using potable water aboard the International Space Station. On future exploration missions, this system could give crew members the ability to generate intravenous fluids on demand. Credit: NASA.
