Christina Morrison, 2016 UA Space Grant Intern, is working with professor Charles Gerba on testing new ways to clean clothes in space!

"When clothes got too dirty, Pettit and his crewmates stored them onboard until they could be thrown out — launched with other debris on a spacecraft and incinerated upon entering Earth's atmosphere.

Back on the UA's main campus, undergraduate research assistant Christina Morrison wants to make life more comfortable for astronauts such as Pettit by making clothes stay cleaner for longer in space."
