Mark, our Social Media Strategist, was able to talk to Miya
Yoshida, a researcher from Hughes-Fulford Laboratory, about
the timeline of the project:
“Our grant includes two spaceflights – SpaceX-3 and SpaceX-5. Once
SpaceX-3 splashes down, we will head over to Long Beach to pick up
our samples and bring them back to the lab. After that, it will take
around 2-3 weeks to isolate the RNA from all of the samples and then
a couple months out from there to run the experiments analyzing the
gene expression and production of microRNAs. SpaceX-5 isn’t
scheduled to launch until September 2014, and even after that, we
will be carrying out ground control studies here in our lab for at least
a couple months.”
Ms. Yoshida was also kind enough to include a few pictures of
the research team wearing the patches on their lab coats and
shirts:

Although SpaceX-3 was originally scheduled to launch last
December, SpaceX has moved the launch date back several
times due to either technical issues or non-ideal launch
conditions. The next tentative launch date is Monday, April
14th at 4:58 P.M. EDT at the Kennedy Space Center in Cape
Canaveral.
Our location in Ocala, Florida offers a great view of the

horizon on clear days. We were able to get this great picture
of a previous SpaceX launch above the clouds last year that
clearly shows the engine separation:
TJM Promotions is looking forward to the launch of the
research project, and we’ll be keeping an eye on the horizon
when the countdown timer reaches zero. It’s an honor to
work on patches for any aspect of the space program, and we
love learning more about the research involved (even if some
– ok, most — of it goes over our heads.) We extend a huge
thank you to Hughes-Fulford Laboratory for working with us,
and a special thanks to researcher Miya Yoshida for taking the
time to talk with us. Good luck and clear skies on all your
future projects!
UPDATED 4/1 4/1 4 4:0 0 P. M. Eastern : Due to a helium leak
on the first stage of the Falcon 9 rocket, SpaceX and NASA
decided to scrub today’s launch. The next opportunity will be
on Friday, April 18th at 4:25 P.M. and SpaceX has said they will
have the fix implemented by that time. Here’s hoping for no
more issues!
