Tourist Beacon

Tourist beacon

There are hundreds of tourist beacons in the galaxy. They can be found in space and on the surface of planets or moons.

For 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 complete the objective.
