9
00:00:22,950 --> 00:00:19,680
test or

00:00:25,189 --> 00:00:22,960
oft2 to the international space station

11
00:00:26,470 --> 00:00:25,199
part of nasa's commercial crew program

12
00:00:28,630 --> 00:00:26,480
oft2 will serve

13
00:00:30,070 --> 00:00:28,640
as an end-to-end test to demonstrate

14
00:00:33,590 --> 00:00:30,080
boeing's transportation system

15
00:00:35,110 --> 00:00:33,600
is ready to fly crew boeing's cst-100

16
00:00:36,870 --> 00:00:35,120
starliner spacecraft

17
00:00:38,630 --> 00:00:36,880
will launch atop a united launch

18
00:00:40,950 --> 00:00:38,640
alliance atlas v rocket

19
00:00:43,270 --> 00:00:40,960
from cape canaveral space force stations

20
00:00:45,750 --> 00:00:43,280
space launch complex 41

21
00:00:48,310 --> 00:00:45,760
starliner will dock to the space station

22
00:00:50,150 --> 00:00:48,320
and return to earth about one week later

23
00:00:51,670 --> 00:00:50,160
for a ground landing in the western

24
00:00:54,310 --> 00:00:51,680
united states

25
00:00:56,470 --> 00:00:54,320
following a successful oft2 mission the

26
00:00:59,830 --> 00:00:56,480
company will launch its crew flight test

27
00:01:02,310 --> 00:00:59,840
targeted for summer 2021 on monday

28
00:01:02,950 --> 00:01:02,320
december 14th a team of researchers and

29
00:01:05,030 --> 00:01:02,960
engineers

30
00:01:07,429 --> 00:01:05,040
harvested radishes grown in the advanced

31
00:01:10,630 --> 00:01:07,439
plant habitat ground unit at kennedy

32
00:01:12,230 --> 00:01:10,640
part of the ph-02 experiment this was a

33
00:01:13,990 --> 00:01:12,240
ground control for a similar crop of

34
00:01:14,950 --> 00:01:14,000
radishes grown on the international

35
00:01:17,429 --> 00:01:14,960
space station

36
00:01:19,270 --> 00:01:17,439
nasa astronaut kate rubins harvested one

37
00:01:19,830 --> 00:01:19,280
crop of radishes grown in space last

38
00:01:21,670 --> 00:01:19,840
month

39
00:01:23,350 --> 00:01:21,680
and astronauts are planning to harvest a

40
00:01:24,070 --> 00:01:23,360
second crop that's growing on station

41
00:01:25,670 --> 00:01:24,080
now

42
00:01:27,109 --> 00:01:25,680
once samples are returned to earth

43
00:01:29,030 --> 00:01:27,119
researchers will compare them to the

44
00:01:30,950 --> 00:01:29,040
radishes grown at kennedy to better

45
00:01:31,749 --> 00:01:30,960
understand how microgravity affects

46
00:01:33,270 --> 00:01:31,759
plant growth

47
00:01:35,030 --> 00:01:33,280
successfully growing fresh breed in

48
00:01:37,350 --> 00:01:35,040
space is a crucial requirement for

49
00:01:39,190 --> 00:01:37,360
long-duration space flight
