The mission is set to take off from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida at 2:20 p.m. ET Saturday. Should weather dash those plans again, a backup launch window is set for 1:58 p.m. ET Sunday. The original liftoff date had been Tuesday. The bounty of supplies on board includes a pair of new solar arrays for the space station, dwarf tomato seeds and a range of science experiments.
The experiment is part of an effort to provide continuous fresh food production in space. The dwarf tomato seeds will be grown under two different light treatments to measure the impact on the number of tomatoes that can be harvested as well as the plants’ nutritional value and taste. Red Robin tomatoes will also be grown on Earth as a control experiment. The two crops will be compared to measure the effects of a zero-gravity environment on tomato growth.
I hope the CEO isn't too distracted from his incessant Twitter posts.
