Abstract

A liquid reservoir for use in a microgravity environment includes a bladder for holding a liquid. The bladder includes flexible walls and an opening for extraction of the liquid from the bladder. An internal structure is shaped so as to form a channel to conduct the liquid from an end of the bladder that is distal to the opening. The internal structure is configured to prevent the walls of the bladder from blocking the channel when suction is applied to the opening.
