iss060e015472 --- (7/29/2019) Photo documentation aboard the International space Station (ISS) of the The United Arab Emirates (UAE) Palm Tree Growth Experiment (Palm Tree Growth). The investigation examines germination of palm tree seeds in order to determine the best conditions for generating tissue samples for research. A process for growing healthy plant tissue in microgravity could be adapted for testing other indigenous plants of scientific, commercial or educational interest in the UAE. The investigation also observes and documents root growth in microgravity for educational purposes.
