EPS AND EC$ CONSU._PTION DATA•<br />

Gxygen and hydrogen reactants (from the cryogenic Storage<br />

system) are consumed by the EPS fuel cell power plants in the<br />

generation of electrical mower, for the S/C. Water, as a<br />

byproduct, is provided for the ECS. Oxygen from the cryogenic<br />

storage system is also supplied to the ECS for metabolic con-<br />

sumption by the cre_emters and for pressurization of the crew<br />

compartment and the PGA. Vhe cryogenic tanks for oxygen and<br />

hydrogen are initially filiei to at least 97 percent of full<br />

capacitr. Nominal values for these consumables are as follows:<br />

one, two, or three fuel cell power plants is shown in<br />
