Abstract:At present it is necessary the satellite lifetime 10-15 years for operating in space. Xenon is used as fuel for ion engines of satellites. There are problems of accumulated damages at irradiation and sputtering by low energy Xe ion from the engine. It is required to construct database of sputtering yield of ion beams in the low energy region from a hundred eV to 1keV. We are trying to investigate experimentally sputtering yield on satellite component by irradiating the low energy Xe
