Xenon for satellite drive – KrXe cleaning with ReiCat
Naturally, digital media are part of everyday life for all of us today. It is astonishing what requirements must be met to guarantee services for transmission networks for cell phones, data, video and the Internet. Two new telecommunications satellites were recently placed in orbit. Communication satellites themselves usually have an ion drive to get into orbit, as well as for attitude or orbit corrections. It is worth noting that the electrostatic drive usually works with xenon as a supporting mass.
Noble gases such as krypton or xenon are extracted using air separation plants. The subsequent noble gas purification is an important step here. Our unique oxygen purification unit removes methane as well as nitrous oxide down to < 1 ppmv from krypton/xenon into oxygen. Find out more today.
