2026 NASA SPACE APPS CHALLENGE/SPACE EXPLORATION
When gravity fades,
fire transforms.
Decades of microgravity combustion research sit in NASA's PSI repository. Infernity turns that record into a fire-safety instrument: filter it, compare it, and rank it against the habitat you are protecting.

THE FIRE-SAFETY LENS
One fire, three lines of defense
WHY THIS EXISTS
Three moments that defined the risk
Smoke alarms, suppressant bottles and material choices are designed against these failure modes. One Earth spinoff is shown alongside them.
A cabin designed for oxygen
A pre-launch fire in a pure-oxygen cabin killed the three-person crew and reshaped spacecraft materials, wiring and hatch design.
NASA sourceAn explosion on the way out
An oxygen tank explosion crippled the service module en route to the Moon. The crew survived in the lunar module, but the vehicle was lost.
NASA sourceFire in a sealed station
A failed oxygen generator ignited aboard Mir. The crew fought the fire through dense smoke with no quick route home.
NASA sourceThe detector that learned to ignore dust
Shuttle smoke-detector technology that discriminated smoke from dust, cutting nuisance alarms for industrial and mining use.
