"NASA's Long-Running Spacecraft Fire Experiment Ends in Flameout"

NASA concludes its eight-year Spacecraft Fire Safety Experiment (Saffire) with the final mission, Saffire-VI, which took place on the International Space Station and ended with the safe re-entry of the Northrop Grumman Cygnus spacecraft. The experiments provided valuable insights into fire behavior in space, with researchers gathering data to enhance mission safety and inform future spacecraft and spacesuit designs. Despite the conclusion of the Saffire experiments, NASA has gained crucial knowledge that will aid in designing safer spacecraft for upcoming ambitious missions.
