Isro tests futurist fuel cell system that could power space station
Isro Friday said it has successfully tested a futuristic fuel cell based power system that could help power the proposed space station while also holding the potential for significant societal applications. The “100W class Polymer Electrolyte Membrane Fuel Cell based Power System (FCPS)” was tested in space on the PSLV Orbital Experimental Module or POEM, launched onboard PSLV-C58 on January 1. Fuel cell is an ideal power source for the Space Station as it provides both power and pure water.
