*They're also taking up equipment to research the effects of space radiation in preparation for manned missions to Mars.  Included are:

"...two 'matryoshki' to simulate humans in an experiment to probe the long-term effects of radiation on astronauts.

One will be attached to the outside of the space station and the other will send data back to Earth as it floats in space."

Also, crew rotation in April.
