  • ISRO has successfully tested a 100 W class Polymer Electrolyte Membrane Fuel Cell based Power System (FCPS) in its orbital platform POEM3.
  • It aims to assess Polymer Electrolyte Membrane Fuel cell operation in space and to collect data to facilitate the design of systems for future missions.
  • Polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) fuel cells, also called proton exchange membrane fuel cells.
  • It uses a proton-conducting polymer membrane as the electrolyte.
  • Hydrogen is typically used as the fuel.
  • These cells operate at relatively low temperatures and can quickly vary their output to meet shifting power demands.
