Which experiments cover which fire-safety job, and what is still missing?
Fire-Safety Technology Map
Browse the 20 indexed NASA investigations by the fire-safety job they serve, then see which gravity levels have been tested and which are still empty.
What is still missing?
Each square counts the NASA investigations that tested one fire-safety job (prevention, detection or suppression) at one gravity level, from microgravity to Earth gravity. Empty squares are the gaps.
Moon and Mars have no direct combustion tests in the PSI data, so this is where habitat fire-safety knowledge is thinnest and where new tests would add the most.
- Direct
- Measured directly: a verified NASA test table with recorded results at this gravity.
- Analogous
- Related work: an investigation sits here, but without verified measured results.
- Planned
- Planned: a study is planned here and has no results yet.
- No Data
- No data: no indexed investigation at this gravity.
A gap means no indexed test at that condition, not that no research exists elsewhere.

Airflow-equivalent gravity: ~0.16 g eq. (Lunar): 77 microgravity runs (PSI-107 77);~0.38 g eq. (Mars): 65 microgravity runs (PSI-98 2, PSI-99 9, PSI-107 54);~1.0 g eq. (Earth): 206 microgravity runs (PSI-100 2, PSI-107 204);These microgravity runs have airflow comparable to partial-gravity buoyancy, so the Lunar and Normal gravity cells still show gaps.
Gap Exploration Pathway
1. Available Evidence (0)
No indexed investigations for Lunar Gravity (~1/6 g) + Prevention.
2. What Is Missing
- No indexed investigation covers Prevention at Lunar Gravity (~1/6 g).
- This is a gap in the PSI index only; other NASA reports may exist.
3. Suggested Research Questions
- None of the 20 indexed investigations directly tests prevention at lunar gravity. Do NASA reports outside PSI cover lunar surface habitat / rover conditions?
- What minimum O₂ concentration, ambient pressure, and forced-ventilation bands would need to be documented before evaluating prevention hardware for lunar surface habitat / rover?
