High Altitude Hydration System

NASA's Johnson Space Center is offering an innovative freeze-resistant hydration system for licensing. The technology substantially improves on existing hydration systems that cannot prevent water from freezing in the tubing, container, and mouthpiece in the harshest conditions on earth. This technology is designed to work to -40oC and 15-mile-per-hour winds over a 12-hour summit day, and likely well beyond. The final phase of field testing occurred on Mt. Everest in May 2009.
