"NASA Halts Space Fire Experiment"

NASA concludes its Spacecraft Fire Safety Experiment (Saffire) with the final test onboard a Northrop Grumman Cygnus spacecraft after it departed from the International Space Station (ISS). The purpose of Saffire was to study large-scale flame growth and material flammability in an ISS-like environment, providing critical data for spacecraft design and astronaut safety. The experiments, including the recent Saffire-VI, have yielded valuable insights into fire behavior in microgravity, with the aim of informing future spacecraft and missions.
