FIELD: fire-fighting, particularly devices to provide fire safety of pressurized spacecraft compartments in lunar bases or in other space bases to be arranged on other celestial bodies with mass less than the Earth mass.
SUBSTANCE: method involves selecting non-metal material and substances, which are not-combustible under lunar gravity (with low combustion limits determined under lunar acceleration of gravity). If materials and substances, which are combustible under lunar gravity, are used ventilation system is switched-off along with fire-extinguishant delivery in pressurized compartment in amount enough for said material extinguishment under lunar acceleration of gravity.
EFFECT: decreased fire risk in manned sections of lunar base, possibility to take into consideration lunar gravity, which results in decreased costs.
