Abstract:
The invention relates to a craft comprising an energy storage system of the RFCS (regenerative fuel cell system) type and a system for pressurizing the propellants used for propulsion. The craft also comprises a plurality of means (31 to 38) for coupling the tanks of the fuel cell to the propellant-pressurizing tanks of the propulsion system of the craft when the tanks of the propellant-pressurizing system are no longer used.The invention also relates to the method of coupling the tanks of the propellant-pressurizing means to the energy storage system.The invention applies particularly to telecommunication satellites and more generally to spacecraft.
