In this paper, two main groups of technologies and applications that can be distinguished regarding hydrogen field: gas production (hydrogen and oxygen), and power generation, are presented. Firstly, for gases generation, reforming of bioethanol and PEM electrolysis are presented as possible choices for hydrogen production for terrestrial plants re...

... The utilization of hydrogen as an energy source in space applications is increasing due to its favorable attributes when compared to other technologies since hydrogen is considered to be environmentally friendly. Starting with the use of fuel cells during the 1960s with General Electric's first Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) fuel cell for NASA's Gemini missions, hydrogen serves as one of the primary fuel for spacecrafts [Brey et al., 2017]. PEM electrolysis is the process that water splits into hydrogen and oxygen with the use of electricity and polymer electrolyte membrane, seen in Figure 5 [Brey et al., 2017] NASA has effectively integrated hydrogen and fuel cell technologies for a multitude of purposes. ...
