Abstract

Observations on materials combustion in space systems• For spacecraft fire risk assessment, it would be useful to evaluate the amounts of material which would burn before extinguishment due to oxygen depletion• Relationships among heat release and oxygen consumption (Parker 1982*) in corroboration with known MOC values for materials could be used for this purpose
