What experiments did the columbia shuttle accomplish?

I keep looking for results, but just find the experiments they did to find out what caused the crash. If someone has a link to a site that can point me in the right direction, that will be much appreciated.

    STS-107 was a multi-disciplinary microgravity and Earth science research mission. STS-107 carried the SPACEHAB Double Research Module on its inaugural flight, the Freestar experiment (mounted on a Hitchhiker Program rack), and the Extended Duration Orbiter pallet.

    One of the experiments, a video taken to study atmospheric dust, may have detected a new atmospheric phenomenon, dubbed a "TIGER" (Transient Ionospheric Glow Emission in Red).

    Here's NASA's official page for the mission:
