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.

Probe Scanning

===Probe Scanning===

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.

[[Probe scanning|Probe scanners]] are used extensively in Exploration to find [[wormholes]] and other [[Probe scanning|cosmic anomolies]]. They are used ~~in PvE~~ to find [[combat sites]] and other [[cosmic signatures]].

[[Probe scanning|Probe scanners]] that launch ''scan'' probes are used extensively in Exploration to find [[wormholes]] and other [[Probe scanning|cosmic anomolies]]. They are also used to find PvE [[combat sites]] and other [[cosmic signatures]].
