Atmosphere test capsule

From Battlestar Wiki, the free, open content Battlestar Galactica encyclopedia and episode guide
Kara "Starbuck" Thrace's awaits the result after breaking the test capsule's seal on the red moon (TRS: "You Can't Go Home Again").

The atmosphere test capsule is a tubular device used to rapidly determine the viability of a planetoid's atmosphere. Depending on the chemical reaction after exposure, a visibly colored strip within the tube will either indicate green for viable or red for the opposite.

In one such instance, upon parachuting upon a red moon following a skirmish, Kara "Starbuck" Thrace breaks the seal of a test capsule to find that the moon did not have a suitable atmosphere (TRS: "You Can't Go Home Again").
