The cargo resupply mission will include the Atmospheric Waves Experiment (AWE) and Integrated Laser Communications Relay Demonstration Low-Earth-Orbit User Modem and Amplifier Terminal (ILLUMA-T), according to NASA.

ILLUMA-T is an investigation to complete an end-to-end laser relay system that transmits data from the ISS to ground bases in the U.S., a first for NASA.

AWE measures atmospheric gravity waves' characteristics, distribution, and movement using infrared imaging, per NASA. Eventually, greater understanding of these gravity waves could reveal insight into Earth’s atmosphere, weather, and climate.
