I'm too lazy to google but what all is going to happen on the mission?

I've heard 3 spacewalks. Are they fixing things on the International Space Station or collecting data?

Either way, I'm stoked for the launch. I've always thought them to be really exciting. The first time I heard 17,000 mph it blew my mind.

They are putting up the last of the major solar arrays for the ISS and switching out crew members on the ISS.
