The '''M4435 Narrow-Band Scanner''' provides high resolution surface scans of the celestial body it orbits. Its purpose is mainly to locate areas with a high concentration of [[Ore|ore]], in order to find spots with the highes yield possible for your mining operations. Since it delivers a much higher accuracy than the [[M700 Survey Scanner]], it makes sense to perform scans over areas with high resource concentration, previously identified with a survey scan.

The M4435 Narrow-Band Scanner is a part introduced in version 1.0.

Product description

Ideal for surveying potential landing sites, this scanner provides detailed information about the planet or moon that it orbits, though this data is limited to the spot directly below the scanner.

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, 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 concentration. Previously identified by a survey scan.
