Apollo Fuel Cell

The Apollo mission was too long to rely on batteries for power. Instead, the Service Module housed three fuel cells. Fed by liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen tanks, the fuel cell combined the hydrogen and oxygen, creating electrical power and water. The water was used for drinking and for reconstituting dehydrated food.

This fuel cell was previously displayed in Space Hall.

As of now, I have not yet sorted through all of my pictures of the Apollo fuel cell, but some other page references this location. Thus, this is a "place holder" version right now, with only the pictures actually referenced. Come back some time later to see if I've finished up, or drop me an email to request me to prioritize the rest of these pictures.
