Make a Cassini Spacecraft That's Good Enough to Eat
You can construct an edible spacecraft with some major components of the real thing. The Cassini spacecraft features a large dish antenna for communicating with Earth on the main body. A long boom out the side carries a magnetometer, an extremely sophisticated compass for measuring the direction & strength of a planetary magnetic field.
