Brief description
In this module, students will perform experiments to investigate two primary areas: space science and electronic control of scientific equipment. In particular, students will be expected, by the end of the module, to control an actual physical experiment, to automatically take data, store it and process it, as might be expected in a robotic probe sent to space.
