Nasa To Burn Unmanned Orbiting Craft To Test Fire In Space Techworm
Gary Ruff, one of the engineers leading the experiment at the US space agency’s Glenn Research Center in Cleveland, Ohio, on Tuesday said that this research “is crucial for the safety of current and future space missions.” The aim is to measure the size of the flames, how much gas is released, how rapidly they spread, and the amount of heat produced. Once the craft transports supplies to the International Space Station (ISS), the experiment will be carried out in an Orbital ATK Cygnus capsule....
