Scanning & Probing is a method of finding objects, ships and hidden sites in space. Every ship in Eve has an On-board System Scanner that can be used to search for objects not found on the Overview. Every ship in Eve with the exception of shuttles can fit a Scan Probe Launcher module to launch probes. Probes greatly increase the both the number of types of objects that can be detected and the range a which they can

Scan Equipment Types
- Core Probe Launcher
- Expanded Probe Launcher
- Core Scanner Probe
- Combat Scanner Probe
- Deep Space Scanner Probe
Faction
- Sisters Core Probe Launcher
- Sisters Expanded Probe Launcher
- Sisters Core Scanner Probe
- Sisters Combat Scanner Probe
- Sisters Deep Space Scanner Probe
Any probe can be used in any launcher with the capacity to load it. Practically, this means an Expanded launcher can launch any probe, and a Core launcher can only launch Core probes. Expanded launchers can also be used to launch moon mining probes.

Scanning & Probing Techniques and Tricks
- Holding Shift modifies all active probes at once.
This is VERY useful for setting range on all probes at once.
- Scan Probe Placement (With 4, 5, 6, 7 or 8 probes).
You can find any site with just 4 probes, assuming you have enough sensor strength. If the site is too weak, you can pile on additional probes and it may work.
- Quick Scans (With or without Deep Space Probes).
Deep space probes are primarily useful in very huge system. However, they are very weak, making them less useful than other probes for finding anything but deep-safe-spotted ships in very large systems.
