Space Day Challenge #2:  Gallactic Gear

"Food and water, shelter, warmth � these are basics needed for survival. However, when you�re on an expedition of discovery, you also need useful equipment. Flashlights, canteens, folding shovels � these are some of the things that have been used by explorers. Exploring another planet will require some very unique tools. Explorers will need tools for setting up base camp, equipment to find their way around the planet, and a variety of items to investigate their new environment."

Your Challenge: Your team of world class explorers and engineers will design and build a tool that can be used to explore and/or survive while exploring the solar system. The tool should have more than one use and be compact enough for an explorer to easily carry.
