Xenon, krypton, and argon are known as noble gases, which are distinguished in chemistry for their non-reactivity with other substances. They are used in various industries, and their properties also allow their wide application in space-related technologies. Xenon is the most commonly used noble gas in space missions due to its high efficiency as a…

ABSTRACT: The Xenon Feed System is an essential part of any electric propulsion system. The life cycle of the feed system is largely determined by lifetime of the valves and the amount of working substance in tank. Whereas the amount of working substance is selected based on the requirements for each specific mission valve parameters…

Summary There is now a growing need for broadband Internet access. The majority of subscribers are served through terrestrial (cable) or mobile networks; however, the deployment of terrestrial networks is not economically feasible for remote or sparsely populated areas. Broadband satellite communications are the only available solution for such areas. The main advantage of satellite…
