Space Station Cargo

1. Food and Crew Provisions: 306 Kilograms:
  • 13 bags standard rations: Food, about 117 standard meals, and 45 lowsodium meals
  • 5 bags low-sodium rations
  • Crew clothing
  • Pantry items (batteries, etc)
  • SODF and Official Flight Kit

2. Utilization Payloads: 21 Kilograms
  • NanoRacks Module 9 for U.S. National Laboratory: NanoRacks-CubeLabs Module-9 uses a 2 cube unit box for student competition investigations using 15 liquid mixing tube assemblies that function similar to  commercial glow sticks. Science goals for NanoRacks-CubeLabs Module-9 range from microbial growth to water purification in microgravity
  • Ice bricks: For cooling and transfer of experiment samples

3. Cargo Bags: 123 Kilograms

  • Cargo bags: reposition of cargo bags for future flights

Return Cargo

1. Crew Preference Items: 143 Kilograms
  • Crew preference items, official flight kit items

2. Utilization Payloads: 93 Kilograms
  • “Plant Signaling” hardware (16 Experiment Unique Equipment Assemblies): Plant Signaling seeks to understand the molecular mechanisms plants use to sense and respond to changes in their environment. Ambient Hardware return only; no plant sample return (24 kg)
  • Shear History Extensional Rheology Experiment (SHERE) Hardware: SHERE seeks to understand how liquid polymers behave in microgravity by measuring response to straining and stressing. Ambient hardware return; no samples (36 kg)
  • Materials Science Research Rack (MSRR) Sample Cartridge Assemblies (Qty 3): MSRR experiments examined various aspects of alloy materials processing in microgravity; SETA (Solidification along a Eutectic path in Ternary Alloys-2); MICAST/CETSOL (Microstructure Formation in Casting of Technical Alloys under Diffusive and Magnetically Controlled Convective Conditions/Columnar-to-Equiaxed Transition in Solidification Processing); Ambient hardware return with samples (9kg)
