For the past few weeks we have been working on a new satellite like scanner to improve our data research feedback from exploring nomadic planets and foreign stellar bodies.

The "Sirius Calibrator Artificial Nano Enchanted Relays" (SCANER) provides a qualitative leap in planetary surface imaging. A proprietary technology of the Ayndroid group, this upgrade, for Department of RD&A Mobile Laboratories, sensory array delivers superior long-range topographical scanning resolution and rendering speed.

By deploying an orbital multistatic grid of 100 radar-emitting micro-satellites, the SCANER quickly delivers a global Digital Elevation Model (DEM) at 15 meters per pixel (mpp) resolution, vastly outclassing the previous scanner peak performance of 27 mpp. Such imaging quality provides superior defense intelligence, and at a speed warranted by the dangers of combat.

At slower scanning and rendering speed, the SCANER can resolve down to an astonishing 0.001 - millimeter per pixel - ideal for geological and biological prospecting, archaeological research, and long-term security surveillance. By employing such a massive multistatic grid of nearly-untraceable micro-emitters, the resilient SCANER is virtually invulnerable to electronic countermeasures. The spherical geometry of the SCANER grid also allows superior cross-sectioning of targets.
