Quick Glance: Helium: Essential Gas for Space Missions
- Helium is an inert gas used in spaceflight for pressurizing fuel tanks.
- Its atomic structure makes it prone to leaks, which can be easily detected due to its low atmospheric concentration.
- Experiences with helium leaks, such as in Boeing's Starliner, highlight the need for innovations in valve design and tightening mechanisms.
- Alternatives like argon and nitrogen are being tested, but helium remains the preferred choice in the industry due to its unique properties.
