TROPI-2; Preparation of experiment containers in EMCS (European Modular Cultivation System) Lab, N-236 Sixten Experiment Containers (ECs) being prepared with flight seeds in December and January will be hand carried to KSC for deployment on STS-130 (shuttle flight 20A). During the ISS (international Space Station) operations the two TROPi-2 experiments to begin by mid Feburary and be completed by early March will monitor by the payload team at Ames from our Multi-Mission Operations Center (MMOC) The experiment samples are scheduled to return on shuttle fight 19A.
