Story Brief

NASA teamed up with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and commercial space partners to intentionally ignite around 2,600 acres of scrub habitat at NASA Kennedy.

Anyone who has seen a launch at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida knows the agency's pursuit of the stars involves some smoke and fire.

Sometimes, however, the smoke doesn't come from the rockets that propel astronauts beyond Earth's bounds.
