NASA’s Spacecraft Fire Safety Experiment series, Saffire, concluded its final mission with Saffire-VI, marking the end of an eight-year investigation

NASA's Saffire program conducted six experiments on uncrewed Cygnus supply vehicles to understand how fire behaves on spacecraft.

NASA has officially bid adieu to its Spacecraft Fire Safety Experiment (Saffire), fittingly having it burn up in the Earth's atmosphere following six successful missions involving controlled fires in orbit. The agency's sixth and final experiment dubbed Saffire-VI traveled to the International Space Station in August, safely tucked inside an uncrewed Northrop Grumman Cygnus spacecraft. […]

The Saffire experiment set fire to a Cygnus cargo vehicle in orbit to learn how flames behave in space.

Saffire-VI, the final mission of NASA’s Spacecraft Fire Safety Experiment, concluded in January 2024 and provided insights into fire’s behavior in space.
