"NASA's Space Fire Experiment – ACME Explained!"

In 2017, NASA supported the ACME project — a series of combustion experiments onboard the International Space Station.
ACME stands for Advanced Combustion via Microgravity Experiments.
Why study fire in space?
Because flames behave very differently in microgravity.
No flickering, no rising smoke — just a slow, round blue burn.
By understanding this, scientists can build cleaner engines, improve fire safety in space missions, and even reduce pollution on Earth.
One of the most stunning results?
Flames that continue burning without visible fuel — something nearly impossible on Earth.
This is science at the edge — where gravity no longer rules.
This is ACME, as supported by ASGSR 2017 and NASA.
