A handy tool for mining: Survey Scanner

Recently I have found about a very useful tool for mining - Survey Scanner. It fits in the medium power slot of the ship and once activated it shows what kind of ore and how much of it is available in the 15km radius. This way you can see if it`s worth mining a particular asteroid.

The survey scanner is very cheap and requires Electronics skill only at level 1. If you spend majority of your time mining, there's no reason not to have this equipment installed to help you pick the right asteroids.
