Electrical power for Gemini and Apollo spacecraft will be supplied by fuel-cell systems requiring hydrogen and oxygen as reactants; supercritical system permits storage with much less volume and weight; characteristics of supercritical system operation; heat input requirements for constant pressure supercritical operation; problem of heat transfer to stored fluid; it is shown that supercritical storage offers simplicity in operation, with inherent reliability and significant weight savings over h-p gas storage.
