Space technology is a technology studied under the branch of science (aerospace). Astronomy has used the aerospace industry for purposes such as space shuttles, rockets, launching satellites, and space exploration.
Space technology includes aircraft (spacecraft) , commerce P stations (space station) ,commerce satellites and space infrastructure equipment and space warfare.
Annual budget of space program of ISRO is more than 2.2 billion US dollar$ and rank as top-7 highest space program budget in the world.
Annual budget--> 2.2 billion US $ Dollar

Space fuel( Now / Future)
In space human wants that there will be less pollution than earth. So clean and good fuel methanol (CH3OH) is used as fuel with a carbon protective shell.
Till 2007 hydrogen fuel is used but later; Methanol fuel is replaced by it.therefore the reality of methanol is that it is alcohol which does not require any cold storage and can kept in room temperature as long as a year. Basically Methanol (CH3OH) cheapest and low budget fuel, which does not face any travelling problem.
Therefore in future scientist are trying to replace methanol with water and research is still going on in Germany with stage 1Reserch.
Professor Kwon is researching on improving of fuels catalyst for more than 15 years, and is still motivated by mini technology which we can see in few years.
DMFC has higher energy density and volume of lithium-ion battery which can become alternative of fuel power of methanol for such as, Shuttle fuel and satellite fuel he told in his interview.
With future of our planet on mother Earth , switching to a alternative of fuel should be at a top priority in life of every space researcher , and this study is remarkable in right direction to step in future!!
