Onboard science includes:
• A study that examines the effects of a drug on breast and prostate cancer cells
• A new combustion facility
• An investigation on skin aging in microgravity
• New hydrogen sensors that will be tested for the space station’s oxygen generation system
• A system that will test hydroponic and aeroponic techniques for plant growth
