国际空间站微重力燃烧项目规划及进展

Planning and Progress of Microgravity Combustion Science on the International Space Station

对NASA近期在国际空间站等平台开展的微重力燃烧研究项目的实验装置、研究内容和进展等进行了调研与展示,旨在为中国空间站微重力燃烧科学的发展方向提供参考依据。目前,NASA通过开发国际空间站燃烧集成架的扩展设备、利用货运飞船平台以及国际合作等方式开展了一系列微重力燃烧基础科学和防火安全的相关研究,通过研究NASA将提高对高效清洁燃烧的认知,并完善未来飞船材料阻燃标准与防火安全策略,同时NASA也计划通过地基设施建设升级以降低研究成本并提高效率。

To provide references for the development of microgravity combustion science in China Space Station,the experimental facilities,research contents and progress of the microgravity combustion researches by NASA on the International Space Station and other platforms were reviewed.NASA has carried out a series of researches on the basic microgravity combustion and spacecraft fire safety via the International Space Station’s Combustion Integrated Rack plug-in devices,utilizing the cargo spacecraft platform and through international cooperation.NASA will have more insights in clean and efficient combustion and will be able to improve the flammability standards and fire safety strategies for future spacecraft thanks to those researches.Moreover,NASA also plans to further strengthen ground-based research capabilities,reduce research costs,and increase research efficiency by upgrading the existing facilities.
