Facilities

Space Flight Experiment: The Fluids and Combustion Facility (FCF) is a facilityclass payload consisting of Combustion Integrated Rack and Fluids Integrated Rack to be located in the Destiny Module of the ISS. These racks are designed to support a broad range of combustion and fluid physics research and technology maturation experiments on orbit. FCF allows real-time experiment command and control from ground through GRC.s Telescience Support Center.

Ground-Based Facilities: Unique ground-based facilities include NASA lowgravity aircraft, 5.2-Second Zero-Gravity Facility, and 2.2-Second Drop Tower. Together these offer a unique suite of microgravity and partial-gravity capabilities unmatched in the world.
