Because a fuel cell converts the chemical energy of a fuel and an oxidant into electricity. This means that the space craft uses this electricity to work. It is basically like a giant battery which powers the space craft.

What a fuel cell is why is it useful in spacecraft?
a fuel cell is a cell that produces electricity they are used to provied power and water for the spacecraft so the space craft could'nt really survive with out fuel cells
Why is a fuel cell so useful in spacecraft?
they are used to provied power and water for the spacecraft so the space craft could'nt really survive with out fuel cells Because fuel cells do actually fart it's well documented. And they do a poo when they get tired! < SOOO TRUE!!
Why is a fuel cell useful in spacecraft?
because hydrogen is in the fuel cell. hydrogen is useful in many things including spacecrafts. please do not use this for anything important because I'm not sure but i been reading this page about hydrogen and it is true. I know for sure that hydrogen is used for rocket fuel because it is on the sheet. By Georgina thank you 4 going on wikianswers.com
Why does space probe need very little fuel?
In space there is no friction, so once the space craft gets moving it will stay in motion until it runs into something. The lack or resistance (friction) means it doesn't have to keep pushing to continue moving. It only needs enough fuel to get it up to speed then it will continue on by itself.
What are the disadvantages of manned space craft?
All economical. Loss of viable payload space and associated fuel wastage. Training, provision of on-board human environmental support systems and communications. The need for a very expensive return trip to earth and recovery of the vehicle.

Why is fuel cells so useful in space craft?
because they are used to provide water and electricity for the spaceship... so very useful....

How did SMART-1crash?
There was not enough fuel in the space craft to land.
Why is fuel cell so useful to spacecraft?
Without fuel, the spacecraft cannot launch.
What is a fuel cell and why is it useful in spacecraft?
it lifts up the spacecraft

What is A voltaic cell in which a fuel substance undergoes oxidation and from which electrical energy is obtained continuously?
You probably mean what is called a fuel cell. This type of unit is being developed for vehicles, it is used in space vehicles especially
Has hydrogen fuel cells been used as energy yet?
Hydrogen fuel cells powered the Apollo space craft of the 1960's. They're also used today as large power plants for rural areas
How do you make a fuel cell?
This is a specialised topic and there are a variety of different types possible, only time and experience wil show which type is the most useful. My best advice is to read the Wikipedia entry 'Fuel Cell', which covers the ground pretty thoroughly.
