- Abstract
- A study was conducted to assess the feasibility of conducting experiments in space on smoldering combustion, to conceptually design specific smoldering experiments to be conducted in the Shuttle/Spacelab System, and to provide design information for identified experiment critical components. The need for space research has been defined based on the limitations of existing knowledge and the limitations of ground-based reduced-gravity experimental facilities.
