About this work

iss072e456120 (Jan. 13, 2025) --- NASA astronaut and Expedition 72 Flight Engineer Nick Hague works in the Destiny laboratory module's Combustion Integrated Rack swapping samples of materials to observe how they burn in weightlessness. The investigation taking place inside the International Space Station's CIR enables the safe observation of flames and how they spread in microgravity potentially improving fire safety on crew missions.
