ISRO delivered the fuel cell to Space on January 1
New Delhi: The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has accomplished another milestone. ISRO successfully tested a 100 W class Polymer Electrolyte Membrane Fuel Cell based Power System (FCPS) in its orbital platform POEM3, which was launched on January 1 onboard PSLV-C58.
These fuel cells are extremely efficient since they can generate energy straight from fuels without any intermediate stages. Because they emit no emissions and produce only water as a byproduct, they are perfect candidates for human-involved space missions, meeting vital requirements like electric power, water, and heat through a single system, as detailed by ISRO.
Its performance was examined in addition to data collection. It is being developed in preparation for future space missions.
