Samples
Astronauts will collect samples during spacewalks to determine if the ISS releases microorganisms. These samples will be returned to Earth for further analysis.

Sleep impact
Another study aims to assess sleep differences on Earth and in space. For that, scientists will be sending a earbud EEG (Electroencephalogram) device on the mission.
5
Spaceflight
The mission will also conduct the first study of "human response to varying spaceflight durations" which intends to monitor how conditions in space affect humans.
