Story Brief

NASA's Glenn Research Center is advancing a novel regenerative fuel cell system to revolutionize power generation and energy storage for future Moon missions.

With a small blue crane, four researchers hoist a cylindrical fuel cell, which looks like a stack of flattened silver and gold soda cans bundled together, into the air and lower it into a rectangular cart on wheels.

A tangle of tubes and wires spiral away from the system, where nearly 270 sensors and 1,000 components are nestled inside.
