Human waste collection system, for zero-gravity conditions, including user selectable modes for collecting liquid waste, solid waste and menses

A human waste collection system for zero-gravity conditions, the collection system comprising:

• a basin defining a basin cavity and having a lower end that defines a lower plane and configured for being positioned against a floor and an upper end that is spaced apart from the lower end and displaced further from the plane than the lower end;
• a storage bag system disposed in the basin cavity;
• a seat disposed at the upper end of the basin, the seat including a lid pivotally coupled to the seat;
• a suction system including a first suction conduit extending into the basin cavity, adjacent to the upper end of the basin;
• a controller having a user interface that includes user engageable features to select between modes of operation including a first mode for removing menses and solid waste and a second mode for removing urine from a person seated on the seat,
• wherein:
• in the first mode, menses and solid waste is collected in the storage bag;
• and
• in the second mode, the suction system is active to apply suction to the first suction conduit for suctioning urine.
