Our senior researcher Ulises Rojas-Alva went on a research visit to ZARM (Center of Applied Space Technology and Microgravity) in Bremen to perform flammability experiments with silicone membranes in sub-atmospheric pressure. The experimental investigation will serve as a basis for future studies in microgravity environments which is one of the recognised research areas FRISSBE is working in.
