A test bed was fabricated under NASA/MSFC (National Aeronautics and Space Administration/Marshall Space Flight Center) Contract NAS8-36418 to demonstrate hydrogen/oxygen propulsion technology readiness for the initial operating condition (IOC) space station application. A water electrolysis module was later added to the initial test bed to simulate the baseline propulsion system configuration. This paper describes the activation and test results to date and presents plans for future testing.
