Nearly 78 kilograms of trash was jettisoned from the International Space Station (ISS) in a major waste management technology test. The bag was jettisoned from the station's commercial Bishop Airlock.
The first-of-its-kind technology to dispose of waste has been developed by Nasa’s Johnson Space Center and a private company Nanorocks.
