Engineers love a good practical challenge, especially when it comes to spaceflight. But theres one particular challenge facing the crewed missions of the near future that scares mission planners above almost all others - fire. For decades, weve relied on a NASA test known as NASA-STD-6001B to screen material flammability for flight. But space is much more complicated than an Earth-bound test provides for.
