iss051e039882 (5/8/2017) --- A view of Spacecraft Fire Experiment-III (Saffire-III) award the John Glenn Orbital ATK 7 (OA-7) Cygnus spacecraft, taken during cargo transfer operations (OPS). The NASA Advanced Exploration Systems program began a project to develop and demonstrate spacecraft fire safety technologies in relevant environments. The keystone of these demonstrations is a large-scale fire safety experiment conducted on an International Space Station (ISS) re-supply vehicle after it has undocked from the ISS and before it enters the atmosphere.
