Inside the Space Station Processing Facility at NASAs Kennedy Space Center in Florida, red romaine lettuce seeds are measured before being placed in seed film - a new seed handling material - on Jan. 15, 2020.

This seed film experiment involves crew aboard the orbiting laboratory planting the seeds into plant pillows - a common method used to grow plants in space - themselves for the first time ever. The water-soluble, dissolving film addresses the challenge of handling seeds in a microgravity environment and also can be used to deliver fertilizers and other beneficial substances that help plants grow. NG-13 is scheduled to launch from the agencys Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia on Feb. 9, 2020, at 5:39 p.m. EST.
