Terraforming

Terraforming is a module being added to the Habitat in time for the 2009-10 mission to allow the Astronauts to leave a drill on a planet or moon to drill through the crust to learn more about the general interior makeup of a planet or moon. This module would be dropped of on a destination and would be left unattended until the end of the mission when it would be picked up and the data pooled over.
