Title: Solid Surface Combustion Experiment

Description:

The Solid Surface Combustion Experiment (SSCE), designed to supply
information on flame spread over solid fuel surfaces in the reduced-gravity
environment of space, is pictured during Day 4 operations. The middeck
experiment measured the rate of spreading, the solid-phase temperature, and
the gas-phase temperature of flames spreading over rectangular fuel beds.
