Innovative Trends Revolutionizing Space-Based Fuel Cells
Industry leaders are emphasizing the creation of multi-functional power solutions to support longer and more demanding space missions. These compact systems combine power generation, storage, and control into one unit, improving efficiency while reducing complexity, size, and weight-critical factors in space travel. For example, in January 2024, the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) successfully tested a 100W Polymer Electrolyte Membrane Fuel Cell Power System (FCPS) aboard the PSLV-C58 mission. This fuel cell produces electricity by combining hydrogen and oxygen, emitting only pure water and heat, making it highly efficient and environmentally friendly. The test achieved up to 180W of power and provided invaluable insights for future space station power systems, marking a milestone in ISRO's push toward sustainable multi-functional power solutions for deep space exploration.
