The Colloidal Disorder-Order Transition (CDOT) experiment will test fundamental theories that model atomic interactions. CDOT is part of the Second United States Microgravity Laboratory (USML-2) that will fly aboard the Space Shuttle Columbia. STS-95

The Physics of Hard Spheres Experiment (PHaSE) is a NASA Lewis Research Center fluid physics space flight experiment whose purpose is to investigate the behavior and physical properties of a colloidal dispersion of hard spheres. The Microgravity Science Division of the NASA Lewis Research Center has the responsibility of implementing the PHaSE space flight experiment. Onboard STS-94 and STS-83 MSL-1.

The Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) – also known as the Microwave Anisotropy Probe (MAP), and Explorer 80 – is a spacecraft which measures differences in the temperature of the Big Bang's remnant radiant heat – the Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation – across the full sky.  Headed by Professor Charles L. Bennett, Johns Hopkins University, the mission was developed in a joint partnership between the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center and Princeton University.

The Fiber Supported Droplet Combustion (FSDC) investigation was conceived to study fundamental phenomena
related to liquid fuel droplet combustion in air. Pure fuels and mixtures of fuels will be burned as isolated single droplets or in
droplet arrays. Both will be studied with and without forced air convection by a team of investigators.
