Cryogenic stores of hydrogen and oxygen are carried aboard the Shuttle both to provide reactants for the fuel cells and to provide water for the environment system. The state of the cryogenic tanks (temperature, pressure and quantity) can be monitored via the cryo system display. | Cryogenic stores of hydrogen and oxygen are carried aboard the Shuttle both to provide reactants for the fuel cells and to provide water for the environment system.

Most of the data displayed is generic as there are no failure modes for the cryo system implemented, i.e. it is assumed that temperatures and pressures are always nominal. The only non-trivial reading is the quantity of the stores. | Most of the data displayed in FG is generic as there are no failure modes for the cryo system implemented, i.e. it is assumed that temperatures and pressures are always nominal.
