Survey Scanner

Background
The M700 Survey Scanner is an orbital low resolution resource scanner. It is used to map broad areas of resource concentration on a celestial body. It is the first step in finding locations which are rich in resources, for subsequent extraction. It provides a low detail overview of the entire celestial body, which can then be used to target specific areas for further detailed scanning with high resolution scanners (which can only scan a small area, not an entire celestial body).
