BASS-II test F3
Nomex® natural (Nomex III), concurrent flow, microgravity (ISS, Microgravity Science Glovebox). Principal investigator: Ferkul. Listed date 2014-08-01
Ignited briefly, no sustained flame
Conditions and sample
- Oxygen
- 20.8 % by volumeRecorded for this testTaken from NASA's 'Calibrated initial O2 vol%' column.
