The work has encompassed several topics related to the experimental and theoretical study of combustion limits in premixed flames at microgravity. These topics include (1) flame structure and stability at low Lewis number (which is the basis for the SOFBALL space flight experiment), (2) flame propagation and extinction in cylindrical tubes, and (3) experimental simulation of combustion processes using autocatalytic chemical reactions. Progress on each of these topics is outlined
