Here's some ideas. Accelerometer gives only basic seismic data, to get more data, you can set it up to measure seismic data with an impactor probe. Thermometer can give different readings at night and day, and shade or light. Barometer can be used even on bodies with no atmosphere, like detecting a thin whisp on Eeloo or LKO. Gravioli detector is good as is. Instead of biomes, situations have science reports. Re-entry at 1000 m/s or more will not make the goo feel cold, for instance. This would make sub-orbital flights yeild less science than orbital flights. Situations must be sustained for some experiments, like materials studies or biological experiments, so you could get more science from being in orbit than suborbital. You could time-warp, fine, but as long as you are IN orbit, it works, and it is not how long it takes that matters, just that you are in space long enough for it to finish.
