ISRO Advances Space Tech with 100W PEM Fuel Cell Power System Test in Orbit

With the successful test of its 100W class Polymer Electrolyte Membrane (PEM) Fuel Cell based Power System (FCPS) on its orbital platform POEM3 , the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) launched the PSLV-C 58 on January 1, 2024. The ISRO conducted this significant test at the Vikram Sarabhai Space Center, Thiruvananthapuram. It was aimed at evaluating the operation of PEM Fuel Cells in the unique conditions of space. It was a critical step in furthering India’s space exploration capabilities. The fuel cell system impressively generated 180 watts of power, during this short-duration on board POEM3, utilizing hydrogen and oxygen gasses … Continue reading ISRO Advances Space Tech with 100W PEM Fuel Cell Power System Test in Orbit
