A research program is being conducted to study smoldering combustion in microgravity. The program's final objective is to design and conduct smolder experiments in a space based laboratory, which will complement normal gravity ones, and that will help to: increase the current fundamental understanding of smoldering; predict smolder behavior in a space-based installation; and prevent and control smolder originated, ground or space based, fires.
