Fire safety in space – Investigating flame spread interaction over wires

A new rig for microgravity experiments was used for the study flame spread of parallel polyethylene-coated wires in concurrent and opposed airflow. The parabolic flight experiments were conducted at small length- and time scales, i.e. typically over 10cm long samples for up to 20s. For the first tim...
