== Usage ==
 
The '''M4435 Narrow-Band Scanner''' provides high resolution surface scans of the celestial body it orbits. As the description implies, it can only scan a very small area directly below its position. Its purpose is mainly to locate areas with a high concentration of [[Ore|ore]], in order to find spots with the highest yield possible for mining operations. Since it delivers a much higher accuracy than the [[M700 Survey Scanner]], it is reasonable to scan areas with high resource concentrations previously identified by a survey scan.
 
 
Though not a requirement, for optimal results it is often desirable to place a satellite equipped with a M4435 in a polar orbit. This allows the scanner to eventually pass over and scan any desired portion of the planet or moon. Because the [[M700 Survey Scanner]] also needs a polar orbit and you need to conduct a scan with one to use the M4435, it is wise to mount both modules on one satellite.
 
 
== Requirements ==
 
The '''M4435 Narrow-Band Scanner''' requires a completed orbital survey (see the [[M700 Survey Scanner]]) otherwise no ore data can be generated.
