SoFIE Overview

Fire can be a catastrophic hazard for manned spacecraft. NASA mitigates the risk of fire with the implementation of NASA-STD-6001, which establishes program requirements for evaluation, testing, and selection of materials to preclude unsafe conditions related to flammability, odor, offgassing, and fluid compatibility. NASA-STD-6001 impelements a 1-g flame propagation test for proposed space flight materials which some researchers believe is not conservative in low-g.

In 2009, NASA selected 5 investigations that would help further our understanding of solid surface combustion and material flammability. Each investigation addresses different elements fo material flammability.
