The Moon Might Be More Prone To Fires

NASA researchers from Glenn Research Center and Johnson Space Center are investigating material flammability on the Moon through the Flammability of Materials on the Moon (FM2) experiment. Unlike Earth, lunar conditions may allow materials to burn longer due to slower oxygen flow, posing unique challenges for future crewed missions. This research aims to enhance fire safety protocols in spaceflight.
