Burning and Suppression of Solids-Milliken (BASS-M)

The Burning and Suppression of Solids-Milliken (BASS-M) investigation utilizes slightly modified Smoke Point In Co-flow Experiment (SPICE) hardware within the Microgravity Science Glovebox (MSG) for observations of burning solid materials on board the International Space Station (ISS).

BASS-M consists of 44 textile samples with integrated igniter wires. There are four samples of each textile type, of which there are eleven. A set of control samples are included which provide untreated textile samples. The other ten sets of textile samples share a similar configuration. Each has a small piece untreated textile which is ignited by an integrated hot wire igniter. The flame from the untreated textile impinges on the treated textile which is immediately adjacent to the untreated sample.
