The Microgravity Science and Applications Div. (MSAD) of the NASA Office of Space Science and Applications (OSSA) is responsible for encouraging and directing the research of a wide range of physical phenomena in reduced gravity. Under MSAD's direction, NASA-Lewis is presently developing the concept of a multiuser facility which will perform combustion science experiments in space. This facility, the Combustion Experiment Module (CEM), will be located in either the Shuttle Spacelab or the Space Station Freedom lab and will be operational by mid-1997. In addition to standard instrumentation to measure temperature, pressure, and acceleration, CEM shall use a variety of imaging and optical diagnostic techniques. Images shall be the primary source of experimental data. These images create an enormous amount of data which must be archived on orbit for later analysis. Also, ground based investigators will require enough data from the orbiting facility to determine if the experimental parameters need to be changed before proceeding with the next run. The storage and transmission of this data present a major challenge to the CEM design. Data compression will play a major role in the design of the CEM diagnostics system.
