Educational space probe demonstrates measurement types how the streams on the surface conditions in a solid surface planet (i.e. Mars) are measured. Educational space probe (Hunveyor, Husar) contains sensors to measure "airflow", observation of fluids, soil movement, deposition of magnetic particles and several other types of measurements. These measuring equipments are built together and form a kind of robotic station, virtually "standing" on a planetary surface and oparating as a measuring sensor and electronic system. Both the construction of this robotic station (space probe model) and its operation is a possibility to teach environmental science disciplines. We applied this educational form (a kind of project method) in our university and high school institutions.
May I refer to one of our papers at the Lunar and Planetary Science Conference:
Article Systems Woven by Two Flux-Subsystems: One of Them is Planeta...
where some diagrams help to see the matrix formulation of the educational space probe model.
No personally I do not use it. I frequently visit field and exhibit the real time environment
Thanks professor, the personal presence is the best. However, you can not be present personally in a planetary surface and even at the bottom of ocean. So the robotic program is also good for education of bottom of ocean environment measurements in the Earth.
