Abstract
The article presents a review of onboard electrolysis plants being the part of the spacecraft propulsion systems and designed for obtaining propellant components from water. The technical level of development on on-board electrolysis plants was studied. The analysis of tendencies and the forecast of development of onboard electrolysis plants were carried out. The possibility of their use as a part of space vehicles is assessed.
