A gas generator system particularly for use in satellite and orbiting space station is suggested wherein two separate process chambers are alternatingly fed with hydrazine, each chamber includes one or more gas generators proper for catalytically decomposing hydrazine into nitrogen and hydrogen, and further including, and further including two separators for separating the hydrogen from the blend and an interposed supplemental catalytic converter, the two process chambers are interconnected by an intermediate collector type chamber receiving alternatingly nitrogen enriched gas from the two process chambers, and establishing final and complete separation of hydrogen from nitrogen. Hydrogen is extracted from all three chambers; nitrogen is extracted from the intermediate connecting chamber only. The generated gas pressure can be used as energy source for driving the system.
