what will my space instruments need to do?

its basically asking me what instruments I need and what they need to do for space travel, help anyone ?

Navigation and control is essential. That means an inertial guidance system (google gyroscopes and accelerometers) with updates from a system that takes sights on known stars or other objects.

Communication - radio and laser
Habitability - air control (O2,N2,CO2), temp, food, light etc.
