Helium is a lucrative industry for those with refineries orbiting gas giants. These operations, such as AER HELIUS, dispatch mining rigs to extract crude helium from the atmosphere. Once refined, it is loaded onto freighters for wholesale distribution. Buyers include power plants using Helium-3 for nuclear fusion; aerospace parts suppliers needing a shielding gas for their arc welders; and cryogenic engineers working with superconductors or quantum computers.
