This urine collection and transfer device was part of the equipment developed for use during the Apollo missions.
Liquid waste (urine) was collected in a Urine Collection and Transfer Device, worn by the astronauts, with roll-on cuffs providing personal sanitary protection. The urine was then transferred through the Urine Transfer Tube to a tank, from which the majority of liquid waste was vented into space. A small portion was freeze-dried and stored, for testing upon return to earth.
Transferred to the National Air and Space Museum from NASA in 1974.
