The article investigates thermal (thermal conductivity and viscosity) and thermodynamic (density, heat capacity, enthalpy, compression coefficient) properties of inert gases and their mixtures, which are used as the main working medium in promising closed gas turbine for the space needs. Closed gas turbines can be used in various space applications – unmanned spacecrafts, communication satellites and manned martian mission. Experimental research into thermodynamic and thermophysical properties of noble gases and their mixtures is considered. It was revealed that by this time enough amounts of experimental data concerning the properties of both single inert gases and their mixtures had been obtained. These data are used in different models based on kinetic theory of gases and virial real gas condition equation which makes possible to predict necessary thermophysical parameters. While calculating and designing closed gas-turbine installations it is necessary to take into account adiabatic change and Prandtl number of inert gas mixtures. While approaching working parameters to xenon saturation line one should consider the increase of calculated dependency errors
