Space And Defense Overview International Fuel Cells is the world leader in fuel cell systems for space and defense applications. IFC designed, developed, and continues to produce the fuel cell power plants for NASA's Space Shuttle Orbiter and is working with NASA and aerospace companies to evaluate fuel cells for future applications. This was preceded by our pioneering development of the fuel cells for NASA's Apollo moon missions .
Fuel cells are of critical importance to manned space missions.
We also have experience in numerous other defense applications. One example is our undersea power plants which have operated in manned submersibles at depths to 5,000 feet. For more information, please contact the Space and Defense unit of IFC .
