Inside a laboratory in the Space Station Processing Facility at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida on May 28, 2021, Dr. Simon Gilroy, principal investigator, holds one of several Target Veggie Chambers containing a nutrient gel so that cotton seeds can be planted in them as part of the Targeting Improved Cotton Through Orbital Cultivation (TICTOC) experiment. TICTOC will investigate how environmental factors and genes control development of roots in the absence of gravity. TICTOC will launch to the International Space Station aboard SpaceX’s 22nd Commercial Resupply Services mission. Liftoff of the SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket and Dragon capsule is scheduled for 1:29 p.m. EDT Thursday, June 3, 2021, from Launch Complex 39A at Kennedy Space Center.
