00:00A Thai experiment just blasted off into space for the first time ever, and NASA's behind it.

00:05At 5.11 a.m. on September 15, a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket launched from Florida.

00:11On board, the Thailand Liquid Crystals in Space Project, or TLC.

00:16This marks the first time Thai research has joined a NASA mission to the International Space Station.

00:21Developed by Cassettes Art University, the project studies how liquid crystals behave in space.

00:26It took over six years of hard work to reach this moment,

00:29and now, Thai scientists are commanding experiments from Houston and Boulder, right alongside NASA.

00:35The TLC system includes two key modules.

00:38One controls power, water, and air.

00:40The other creates and films liquid crystal films in microgravity using high-tech imaging.

00:45This experiment will run for three months.

00:48NASA astronauts will follow instructions from the Thai team,

00:51conducting 144 hours of experiments in orbit.

00:54And every moment is captured in real time,

00:57with data stored on a massive six-terabyte drive.

00:59Once complete, the mission returns to Earth in 2026.

01:03And the results?

01:04They'll inspire the next generation of Thai space scientists.

01:07Thailand is now officially part of the global space frontier.
