Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer is an experiment that will be on the International Space Station for three years. It will look for anti-matter and dark matter. Supersymmetric dark matter could produce an excess in the 10-300GeV positron spectrum. A 10-6 separation of positrons from the more abundant protons is planned for this signal. A TRD (Transition Radiation Detector) has been designed to achieve these physics goals. Besides the radiator, the TRD is a gaseous detector that needs a gas system providing signal stability to 3%. The design, and construction of the TRD gas supply system is described with emphasis on the electronics control.
