A Falcon 9 and Dragon 2 launched from the Kennedy Space Center on SpaceX’s twenty-third cargo mission to the International Space Station in late August 2021, carrying the payload for ExoLab-9.

ExoLab-9 is a replication of ExoLab-8: the same question and the same species, how spaceflight stress affects the symbiosis of red clover and nitrogen-fixing Rhizobia. It is recorded separately because the experiment ran twice.
