Mining Probe
A mining probe is a device that can propel itself through zero gravity environments and latch on to a celestial body in order to collect a sample of it for evaluation. Some mining probes are fully automated, performing analysis and sending results back to their ship of origin without manual interference. Probes are typically used in asteroid or other extraplanetary mining.
