4. Sensors and Equipment
Congratulations! Your research team has just landed on planet P-3141 after 5 years of interstellar travel. The safety of this planet to humans is unknown. Before any humans will set foot on the planet, you must first determine the characteristics of the planet. From your workstation, you will launch your GoPiGo a variety of missions into the world around you to gather data about the planet.
What questions about the new planet do you want your rover to be able to answer? What sensors or equipment will you need to answer those questions?
