INERT GAS COMPONENTS FOR SPACE CAPSULE ATMOSPHERES.

Abstract

The potential values of several inert gases are surveyed for use in space cabin atmospheres. Helium, argon, neon, krypton, and xenon are briefly discussed. It is concluded that two of these elements, namely, helium and neon, are worthy of serious consideration for use in space travel.
