Flying 250 miles above the Earth, the International Space Station (ISS) provides a platform for research to improve life on Earth, enable space exploration, and understand the universe. This Researcher’s Guide is intended to help potential ISS combustion science researchers plan experiments utilizing the microgravity environment in order to understand how heat and mass transport phenomena coupled with chemistry affect combustion behavior and fire safety. It covers the nature of the acceleration environment on ISS, available facilities for conducting combustion research, examples of previous microgravity investigations, and current combustion science and fire safety projects being developed for execution on the ISS.
