[en] Gamma-ray attenuation is used to measure cryogenic mixture density. Parameters are optimized for specific space application. A simple error formula is established. The feasibility of the measurement is demonstrated. An automatic measurement device is built. (C) 2004 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
