This pr aims to adds in general Crewed Surface science. in such those experiments are made to range from 1965 to 2020.

there over 31 added surface crewed experiment to chose from from 6 categories. and all experiment each have their cost and mass and some are restricted to some bodie:

General survey(1965)

General photographic survey

Geophysics(1968-1973)

Precision gravimeter
Advanced seismic station
Deep thermal probe
Seismic array node

Geochemistry and mineralogy(1971-2020)

Advanced field geology suite
X-ray fluorescence
Neutron spectrometer
Raman spectrometer
Portable mass spectrometer
Laser-induced breakdown spectrometer
X-ray diffraction
Active neutron probe
Combined multi-spectral analyzer

Volatiles and subsurface chemistry (1982-2020)

Advanced volatile analyzer
Organic molecule analyzer
Subsurface volatile detector
Cryogenic volatile sampler
Advanced cryogenic mass spectrometer
Ground-penetrating radar
UV fluorescence biosignature detector

Atmosphere and dust environment(1970-2015)

i tried my best to follow unlock time but since crewed mars is in average done in the end 80s some Atmosphere and dust environment experiment had to be unlocked at some unconventional dates.

Micrometeorite impact plate
Advanced atmospheric analyzer
Dust particle analyzer
Atmospheric isotope analyzer
Planetary electric-field survey
Electrostatic dust monitor
Surface radiation assessment detector
Environmental weather station

Small-body and microgravity(1970-2005)

Asteroid regolith analyzer
Low-gravity precision gravimeter


i understand that this may be a lot and I'm open to removal with feedback

Why is this a new cfg instead of being added to SurfaceExperiments?

Had difficulty understanding what the file was it looked like it was dedicated for lunar experiments?

Only because that's the only application that has been used so far. I think it's no problem to add all of this there.
