- Abstract
- A study group examined the physical bases and scientific merits of combustion experimentation in a space environment. For a very broad range of fundamental combustion problems, extensive and systematic experimentation at reduced graviataional levels are viewed as essential to the development of needed observations and related theoretical understanding.
