In Space, Flames Behave in Ways Nobody Thought Possible Recent tests aboard the International Space Station have shown that fire in space can be less predictable and potentially more lethal than it is on Earth “There have been experiments,” says NASA
The Stupidly Dangerous Chemical Chlorine Trifluoride Can . . . - Discovery They isolated the compound chlorine trifluoride (ClF3), which was liquid (check!) and even more reactive than fluorine (double check!) It's just that it may have been a bit too reactive Sprinkling this chemical on virtually any other thing will start a fire that cannot be extinguished Or an explosion Pick whichever route you prefer
How the ISS experiments with fire and why it matters Fire is one of the most dangerous hazards in space, where even a small spark can become a disaster That’s why scientists are conducting experiments on the International Space Station (ISS) to
Great balls of fire: How flames behave in space Researchers are keeping a close eye on these spherical flames Their findings could help both astronauts and the earthbound A composite of flame images from nine different tests of NASA’s Flame
Fighting Fire with Fire: New Space Station Experiments Study . . . - NASA The Solid Fuel Ignition and Extinction (SoFIE) project, a set of experiments launching aboard Northrop Grumman’s 17th cargo resupply mission to the International Space Station, could light the way to a deeper understanding of fire in space
New Space Station Experiments Study Flames in Space Residence Time Driven Flame Spread will investigate steady and unsteady flame spread using thin spaceflight materials Varying the thickness of the test materials helps scientists understand when
Fire Safety in Space - NASA Fires can happen anywhere—even in space So, for the astronauts who live and work there, it is critical to understand how fire spreads in a microgravity environment and how to manage it safely
