NASA has rescheduled the launch date for a Falcon 9 rocket that will transport a University research project to the International Space Station.
The experiment, led by biology professor Dr. Karl Hasenstein, will study how plants sense and react to gravity. It had been scheduled to travel to the space station on Sunday, March 16 from Cape Canaveral, Fla., as part of a resupply mission.
NASA has rescheduled the lift-off for Sunday, March 30.
Plants will be incubated aboard the space station inside a semi-autonomous device. The objective is to study why plants grow in an up, while their roots grow down? There are several prevailing theories.
