Public Affairs Officer Lori Meggs at Marshall Space Flight Center in
Huntsville, Alabama talks about a "cool" flames experiment in space.
Meggs speaks to Vedha Nayagam, co-investigator for the FLEX-2 combustion
experiment.
You never want to hear about a fire in space, but
for this experiment, that's exactly what had to happen. The FLEX-2
experiment burned different types of fuel droplets and showed us how
flames behave without gravity, so that we may learn better ways to
extinguish flames in space -- information that could lead to improved
environmentally friendly fuels on Earth.
