| | |
| A Micro Probe is used to “map” a [[planet]]’s surface and locate resource hotspots in its [[Planetary Rings|planetary rings]]. It can be launched with the [[Detailed Surface Scanner]] in [[supercruise]].<ref name=":0">[https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php/447043-Chapter-Four-Exploration-Reveal Chapter Four - Exploration Reveal] - 12 September 2018

| These flight-assisted probes are launched via an aiming interface when activating the detailed surface scanner. The probes will arc towards a planet’s surface and when close enough will “display” sensor coverage over a large area. Once enough of the surface has coverage, the probes will collate and report their findings. To map rings around a planet you need to hit each ring with a single probe.<ref name=":0" />

| | |
| To allow for skilled play you can aim probes away from the planet, allowing them to arc around it, potentially letting you hit the surface on far side of the planet. If you aim too far away, the probe will fly right past and miss, but by using mass and size information displayed on the [[HUD]] you will be able to lob probes and get full coverage without having to fly around the planet.<ref name=":0" />

| You will be able to synthesise micro-probes for the detailed surface scanner, but the better aim you are, the less probes you will need to get complete coverage.<ref name=":0" />
