Tomorrow.

#NewShepard is “Go” for launch tomorrow from Launch Site One. #NS26 Learn more: bit.ly/3ymB5Rk

For the first time, a NASA-funded researcher will fly with their experiment on a commercial suborbital rocket on Blue Origin's #NS26 flight! One of two NASA-supported payloads, a FLORIDA researcher will study how changes in gravity affect plant biology: go.nasa.gov/4dIXXKo

Watch this historic event live at 8:30 a.m. tomorrow! 🚀: blueorigin.com/live

#NewShepard is on the pad. The countdown clock is proceeding for launch at the front of the window, which opens at 8:00 a.m. CDT / 13:00 UTC. Live webcast begins here at T-40 minutes. #NS26

Rob is a distinguished professor and director of the Astraeus Space Institute at the FLORIDA. He will be the first NASA-funded researcher to conduct an experiment as part of a commercial suborbital space crew. The experiment is designed to help scientists understand how genes react

As UF IFAS Solutions scientist (and soon-to-be astronaut) Dr. Rob Ferl gets ready for takeoff, Dr. Anna-Lisa Paul and the UF Space Plants team prep experiments on the ground. 🌱

We’re at T-2 minutes and counting. Watch the #NS26 crew fly to space here. 🚀 x.com/i/broadcasts/1…
