The Endeavour will deliver to the ISS, among other things, an ambitious detector called the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer 2 (AMS),

I hope the AMS does well. It could make up some for us not building a better particle collider, and be the first worthwhile project for the ISS, other than making work for the Shuttle, and sucking up limited funds that could have been put to better use.
