Xenon Propellant Filling Cart | Satellite Propulsion GSE System | Xe-Series

The In-Gas Xe-Series Propellant Filling Cart is an engineered ground support solution designed specifically for the precise, closed-loop loading of ultra-pure noble gas into spacecraft flight tanks. Delivering a rapid flow rate of 1.06 lb/min (8 g/s) up to 4,500 PSI, this automated system ensures your electric propulsion systems are fueled to exact flight specifications while eliminating atmospheric exposure. Don’t be a Gashole—Fuel your mission with absolute precision.


FUNCTIONS & CAPABILITIES

Fully automated via an intuitive touch-screen interface, the cart manages the entire fueling and ground support lifecycle with automatic processes: 

• Destination Tank Evacuation: Pulls a deep vacuum on the destination flight tank to remove atmospheric air and moisture prior to fueling.

• Source Supply Conditioning: Evacuates and purges supply cylinders to ensure zero cross-contamination before gas transfer.
  
  

• High-Pressure Filling: Smoothly transfers Xenon directly from source tanks into the destination tank. 

• Gas Recovery: Safely reclaims, compresses, and draws down Xenon from the destination tank if a de-fueling sequence is required. 

• Internal System Purging: Automatically clears ambient air from internal components and tubing to maintain pure pathways.
