Resumen: The problem of fires in spacecraft is briefly commented, pointing out that they still are a high safety risk in long endurance manned missions. It is pointed out that the basic process of a fire is the combustión of a solid fuel in an 02 N2 mixture, and that this basic process is not yet well understood. The research programme presented in this paper is a contribution in this field. Experimental results obtained on fíame spreading in the MiniTexus rocket are shown. These experimental programmes have been sponsored by the European Space Agency (ESA). Ignition and fíame spreading over hollow PMM...
