They’ve even lit small controlled flames inside Northrop Grumman Cygnus spacecraft to study various flame retardant materials and how fire can spread in the absence of Earth’s gravity. Now, they’re looking to take the potentially lifesaving research a step further. In anticipation of the space agency’s eventual establishment of a permanent presence on the…
