Helium Evolution from the Transfer of Helium Saturated Propellant in SpaceHelium evolution from the transfer of helium saturated propellant in space is quantified to determine its impact from creating a two-phase mixture in the transfer line. The transfer line is approximately 1/2 inch in diameter and 2400 inches in length comprised of the Fluid Interconnect System (FICS), the Orbiter Propellant Transfer System (OPTS) and the International Space Station (ISS) Propulsion Module (ISSPM). The propellant transfer rate is approximately two to three gallons per minute, and the supply tank pressure is maintained at approximately 250 psig.
