Watkins, Delaney, and Kutryk, along with Roscosmos cosmonaut Sergey Teteryatnikov (not pictured), are part of NASA's SpaceX Crew-13 mission to the International Space Station and will explore the possibility of growing crops outside of the station’s Veggie chamber – one of two enclosed areas currently used to grow crops on the orbiting laboratory.
