F104 Starfighters

But what do Starfighters have to do with plants? Our experiment looked at plant transcriptome response to suborbital flight profiles. The basic question we asked was, “What would plants feel during a suborbital flight?” We were also asking if an untrained civilian (represented here by our two PIs, Dr. Rob Ferl and Dr. Anna-Lisa Paul) could be tasked to perform certain functions during the flight, such as taking various measurements and harvesting plants in a special chemical fixation unit designed at Kennedy Space Center called a KFT. http://ufspaceplants.blogspot.com/2015/04/what-do-interceptor-class-jets-and.html
