The '''Discovery Scanner''' is a stellar body scanner module. When installed and activated, it can be used to identify unknown astronomical objects with an uncharted [[star system]]. With ''[[Elite Dangerous: Beyond]]'' Chapter Four (3.3), the Discovery Scanner will be upgraded with [[Analysis Mode]]. | |||
== Specifications == | |||
{{Quote|This scanner can be used in supercruise and normal space by assigning the module to the current fire group and holding the trigger down to charge it. Once charged, the scan will reveal astronomical bodies within the range of the scanner. Once revealed, these bodies can be further analysed b approaching and targeting the body, then facing it to a trigger a basic scan.|Additional In-Game Description}} | |||

Once you discover the objects they will initially appear in your Navigation panel as "UNEXPLORED" (discovered but not scanned) and you will need to get close enough for your ship to automatically scan them to get further information. The distance you need to get to the object in order for the automatic scan to begin depends on its size. Stars may be automatically scanned from over 1,000 LS away but small moons may require you to be within 10 LS or even closer. Once you are close enough and have the "UNEXPLORED" object selected you will see it begin scanning and the name will eventually change from "UNEXPLORED" to a more appropriate name based upon its position in the system. You will also see further information on the body in the system map. | Once you discover the objects they will initially appear in your Navigation panel as "UNEXPLORED" (discovered but not scanned) and you will need to get close enough for your ship to automatically scan them to get further information.

Although not necessary, it is beneficial to also have the [[Detailed Surface Scanner]] to maximise your profits as this gains additional information such as the atmosphere type and composition of the astronomical body. | Although not necessary, it is beneficial to also have the [[Detailed Surface Scanner]] to maximise your profits as this gains additional information such as the atmosphere type and composition of the astronomical body.
