The first on-orbit experiment of space fuel cell in China was successful.

Thank you, Mr. Air, a netizen of CTOnews.com, for your clue delivery! CTOnews.com, November 26, according to CCTV News and CCTV military reports, the Tianzhou V fuel cell loading project, undertaken by the Fifth Academy of Aerospace Science and Technology Group, was successfully completed for the first time in orbit.

In the early stage, the 529 factory organized a space fuel cell team formed by three professionals: electric energy transmission and control, fluid drive and transmission, and surface engineering technology to complete the product development and smooth shipment. Through the cycle verification of several working conditions, the on-orbit experiment successfully completed all the established tasks and achieved complete success. the mission preliminarily verified the power generation characteristics, variable power response law and electrochemical reaction interface characteristics of the space fuel cell energy system under the conditions of vacuum, low temperature and microgravity outside the orbit, which provides important data and theoretical support for the development and key technologies of the space fuel cell energy system.

CTOnews.com learned that in the follow-up, the project team will carry out in-depth engineering research on the space fuel cell energy system on the basis of this verification work, so as to realize the aerospace application of the fuel cell energy system in China.
