Pretty much as my answer to a related question:
As part of the experiment, the crew of the ISS are subjected to the Dynamic Lighting Schedule:
Have the astronauts settled on a white or near-white setting ?

DART and EXP-55 are not the only two planned uses, in fact, ROSA will be used for many more missions.

Just to have an idea of the order of magnitude:
"Time dilation explains why two working clocks will report different times after different accelerations. For example, time goes slower at the ISS, lagging approximately 0.01 seconds for every 12 Earth months passed."
says https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_dilation
Similarly, between Earth surface (1 ...
