[Combustion under microgravity and technique of fire prevention and suppression in space cabin]

This is a brief review on microgravity combustion, along with the discussion of the fundamental characteristics of combustion and fire processes under microgravity. Recent research activities in microgravity combustion and space fire prevention were emphasized. In addition, the potential use of flame-inhibiting atmospheres in the space cabin was introduced. The technique of fire detection and extinguishment in spacecraft environments was also discussed.
