[*]Watching Waves in the Atmosphere: NASA's Atmospheric Waves Experiment (AWE) will use an infrared imaging instrument to measure the characteristics, distribution, and movement of atmospheric gravity waves (AGWs). [*]Space Flight Induced Ovarian and Estrogen Signaling Dysfunction, Adaptation, and Recovery: A fundamental science investigation sponsored by NASA's Biological and Physical Sciences Division, it advances previous microgravity studies that seek to better understand the combined effects of spaceflight, nutritional, and environmental stresses on control of ovulation and resulting effects on the skeleton. [*]Aquamembrane-3: An investigation from ESA (European Space Agency), it continues evaluation of replacing the multi-filtration beds used for water recovery on the space station with a type of membrane known as an Aquaporin Inside Membrane (AIM). [*]Choctaw Heirloom Seeds: A project aimed at educational outreach that focuses on the preservation and cultivation of indigenous plant seeds.[/list] The CRS-29 Dragon (C211) previously flew on the CRS-26 flight.
