This paper reports annual result of 'Research on Flame Spread Mechanism of Fuel Droplets' in JFY17, performed by a combustion research team in ISS Science Project Office of JAXA. In this study, flame spread mechanism of fuel droplet array was investigated based on the past research results. The effects of ambient temperature, droplet interval, and pre-evaporation of droplets on flame spread behaviors and flame spread rate were investigated by microgravity experiments employing a drop shaft.
