OBJECTIVES

Build on Saffire-I by expanding the material test portfolio to include Nomex and spacecraft window acrylic at large scale.

Sensors & measurements
  • Video and still imaging
  • Thermocouples
  • Pressure and oxygen sensors
  • Flow duct instrumentation
Variables tested
  • Material type across nine samples
  • Flame spread over fabric, Nomex and acrylic window material
Key findings
  1. 01Expanded large-scale flammability testing beyond the single SIBAL fabric used in Saffire-I.
  2. 02Tested Nomex and the same acrylic glass used for spacecraft windows.
  3. 03Samples were ignited remotely after Cygnus departed the station, before destructive reentry.
