Every ship in Eve comes with an on-board [[Directional Scanner|Solar System Map with Directional Scanner]] that can be used to discover, but not pinpoint via distance or coordinates, objects up to 14 AU away from the ship. This equipment can be used to search for [[Cosmic Anomalies]] and other objects not found on the [[Overview]].

This equipment can be used to search for [[Cosmic Anomalies]] (including ice belts and gas clouds) and other objects not found on the [[Overview]].   


Asteroid miners may use [[Mining#Survey_scanner|survey scanners]] to measure distances to various asteroids and to monitor the volume of these as they are mined.
Asteroid miners may use [[Mining#Survey_scanner|survey scanners]] to measure distances to various asteroids and to monitor the volume of these as they are mined. Moon miners may use specialized [[Moon_mining#Equipment|survey probes]] which investigate a solar system and return the ore name, the quantity, the TypeID, and the ID's for the Solar System, Planet and Moon.  


Every ship in Eve with the exception of shuttles and freighters can fit a Scan Probe Launcher module.  These launch probes that increase the number of types of objects that can be detected and the range at which they can be scanned. In addition, probes provide distance and coordinate information.

This article is primarily concerned with probe launching and interpretation.
