Regenerative Fuel Cell Project

NASA Regenerative Fuel Cell project develops a continuously rechargeable hydrogen and oxygen energy-storage system for sustained lunar-surface operations. The system combines fuel-cell discharge with electrolysis recharge and is being tested for harsher lunar-surface conditions under the Game Changing Development Program.
