- Abstract
- During the early part of May 1970, a national conference on fire safety was held in Houston, Texas. Approximately 500 industrial representatives and NASA personnel met at the Manned Spacecraft Center to discuss recent progress in the field of fire safety, particularly in the area of noncombustible materials and the combustion characteristics of flammable materials. The substantial impact of the conference suggested the subjet of this presentation: NASA contributions to the field of fire safety. In this presentation the fire safety field is divided into three parts: an industry, a technology base and a user base.
