Liquid `H_(2)` is carried on board a s a propellant. The bolied-off `H_(2)` vapor that ordinarily WOULD be lost is used in a fuel cellto generate electrical power.
Hydrogen (the fuel is supplied to the anode compartment. Oxygen (the oxidizer) is fed into the cathode compartment. The diffusion rates of the gases into the cell are carefully regulated for maximum efficiency. Oxygen is reduced at the cathode, which consists of porous carbon impregnated with a finely divided `Pt` o `Pd` CATALYST.
Cathode
