Which instruments would you include on a probe of your own design to observe weather on other planets? Informal Assessment Based on information from this activity, have students write a paragraph with ideas about instruments they would want to include on a probe of their own design.
Learning Objectives Students will: describe different types of probes and their usefulness in exploring other planets discuss instruments that probes use and identify the information probes are able to gather and report.

Orbiters are placed in orbit around a celestial body. Landers land on the surface of a celestial body. Examples of each type of space probe include Voyager 2 interplanetary , Magellan orbiter , and Pathfinder lander. Examples of data that space probes gather include photographs and information on the gravitational field of a celestial body.

During its 83 Martian days of operation, it provided over images and collected chemical data from 16 locations. Sojourner deploying the APXS instrument in test terrain. Operating long past their design lifetimes, they have explored Gusev Crater and Meridiani Planum, two locations on opposite sides of the planet.
The dust-covered Spirit rover took this self-portrait on Mars using its panoramic camera. Gale Crater is kilometers about 90 miles in diameter and contains a large central mound 5 kilometers 3 miles high. The mound is made up of many different rock layers that record the geologic history of the area and may tell the story of environmental change over millions of years of Mars' history.
