A probe launcher can launch various types of probes:

*[[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]].

*"[[Probe scanning|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]].

*~~Probe scanners can also launch~~ "~~combat~~" probes ~~that~~ can pinpoint the location of other ships. These are most frequently used in PvP.

*"Combat" probes can pinpoint the location of other ships. These are most frequently used in PvP.

*[[Moon mining]] uses 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. Survey scanners take up a mid-level fitting slot. (Note that these are ''probes'' and must be launched - as opposed to the use of a survey ''scanner'' as described above.)
