Eighth Conference on Space Simulation

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration has served as a co-sponsor of the Eighth Space Simulation Conference and has published the proceedings as a NASA Special Publication so that the information presented would be available as a permanent record and as a reference source for persons interested in the technologies. This conference provided an international forum for the discussion of the state of the art in space simulation, contamination, biosciences, and flammability. It is through this forum that many persons with differing interests and responsibilities in the aerospace research, development, and testing programs have been brought together for the interchange of knowledge in areas which affect them all. The NASA is again pleased to present, with the Institute of Environmental Sciences, American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, and the American Society for Testing and Materials, this important material and to make it accessible to the greater scientific community as a NASA publication.
