Current Status on Preparation of Fuel Droplet Clouds Combustion Experiment “Group Combustion” Onboard the KIBO

The “Group Combustion” experiment is planned as the first combustion experiment in the KIBO on the ISS. Flame spread characteristics of n-decane droplet clouds and linear array will be investigated in detail. The experiment will employ the Multi-purpose Small Payload Rack (MSPR), the Chamber for Combustion Experiment (CCE), and the Group Combustion Experiment Module (GCEM) as experimental apparatus. At present, development of the GCEM has been...
