Radiospectography bobby probe idea using disintegrators to scan planets and asteroids to determine the Mineral Types.
The Probe: The idea is to be able to use a bobby AI (set to ship and sleected target) with a ship core, thruster and Power generator to target a planet or asteroid and suicide into it as in Real Life.
(maybe with an additional block for the mineral scanner)
Use:
You undock your probe from its docking module, then target a planet or asteroid.
The Probe would then accelerate into the asteroid or Planet and explode.
A red message could appear listing the type of Minerals that can be found in top right.

IRL: (1) Deep Impact is a NASA space probe launched on January 12, 2005. It was designed to study the composition of the comet interior of Tempel 1, by releasing an impactor into the comet. At 5:52 UTC on July 4, 2005, the impactor successfully collided with the comet's nucleus. The impact excavated debris from the interior of the nucleus, allowing photographs of the impact crater. The photographs showed the comet to be more dusty and less icy than had been expected. The impact generated a large and bright dust cloud, which unexpectedly obscured the view of the impact crater.
(2) NASA Probes to Slam Into Lunar Mountain:
NASA will be crashing their two washing-machine-sized GRAIL probes into an unnamed mountain on the Moon on Monday 17th December 2012 (at 2:28PST - that's 22:28UTC).
The probes, which have spent the last year giving scientists unprecedented detail about the Moon's internal structure and composition, will be traveling at over 3,800mph (1.7km/sec) only 6,560ft above the surface of the Moon before slamming into the side of the mountain.
