'''Tourist Beacons''' are devices found at hundreds of points of interest across the [[galaxy]]. When targeting a Tourist Beacon and approaching it closely enough, it will be scanned and a brief text description of the local site will be downloaded to the message inbox of the [[HUD/Center|Comms panel]]. Tourist Beacons can be found in space and on the surface of [[planets]] or [[moons]].


There are hundreds of tourist beacons in the [[galaxy]]. They can be found in space and on the surface of [[planets]] or [[moons]].
Some [[Passenger Carrier|passenger missions]] involve ferrying a group of passengers to a specific Tourist Beacon and scanning it in order to complete the objective.
 
For [[Passenger Carrier|passenger missions]] you can scan tourist beacons to learn about in-game lore and earn exploration awards. Scanning occurs by approaching the beacon, point your ship at the beacon, then attempt to scan or wait for an automatic scan. It'll send an inbox message with a blurb of that beacon and completes the objective.
 
Scanning can be performed via the contacts menu and selecting the beacon.
