FM2 to study lunar material flammability

Launching in late 2026, FM2 will use cameras and sensors to watch how different materials burn in lunar low-gravity conditions and oxygen-enriched habitat atmospheres.
Earlier tests on Earth hint that some stuff gets even more flammable with less gravity, so these experiments will help NASA select safer materials and better understand fire risks for future lunar missions.
