Talk about recycling, The "SuitSat" is a Russian space suit with Batteries, radio transmitter and some internal sensors for temperature, battery condition and a few other assorted bits of information. The suit does not have any of it's temperature controls running so as to preserve battery power so it's going to be rough conditions for the equipment inside.
It's an idea from the ISS team to recycle some of the suits. It transmits in several languages and there are clues to some special things for school students to do.

This sounds like a lot of fun
