This paper describes the preliminary concept, specifications, and requirements of a reusable Zero-Gravity Combustion Facility for use by experimenters aboard the Spacelab payload of the Space Transportation System Orbiter. The proposed facility allows a wide variety of combustion research experiments, from rapid burning to long term smoldering, in a low gravity environment. Included is the philosophy behind the design, the basic facility concept itself, and a description of the hardware required to implement the concept.
