Flammability of Materials on the Moon (planned)
Plan document (opens in a new tab)ntrs.nasa.gov/citations/20260001966
Evidence proximity, not a safety rating. This page describes what was tested and where each value comes from.
Where FM2’s runs sit in condition space, in the Atlas chart window. Other investigations’ runs in this regime are dimmed.
6 of 6 runs drawn.
No objective text; see the source document.
Computed from the 6 records below: what varied, what was held constant, and what was never recorded.
| Axis | State | Range | Basis | Recorded |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| O₂ | varied | 21.0–37.0 % · 6 levels | nominal (stated, not measured) | 6/6 |
| Pressure | varied | 56.5–101.4 kPa · 2 levels | nominal (stated, not measured) | 6/6 |
| Flow | not recorded | not reported in source | not recorded | 0/6 |
6 of 6 runs record both ambient O₂ and pressure and are plotted.
Lunar (0.165 g) 6 runs
Planned conditions: never counted as evidence.
FM2: 6 records.
