Description of Driving Event:
The Microgravity Smoldering Combustion protoflight unit was flown on the STS69 shuttle mission. Resulting flight data indicated anomalous readings from two thermocouples. Both channels had noticeable noise, and readings, which were higher than anticipated for the condition. Since the igniter algorithm uses this information to initiate igniter shut-off the igniter was shut off prior to establishing desired conditions in the foam for smoldering completion.
