NASA plans to conduct the first-ever fire experiment on the Moon to study flame behavior in lunar gravity. This experiment, called FM2, aims to understand how materials burn in space for future Artemis missions, as flammability can differ significantly from Earth. The self-contained combustion chamber will test cotton, fiberglass, and acrylic samples, providing crucial data for spacecraft fire safety standards.
